Subject: Add a policy for detecting debug modules
I can't tell you how many times I've used Data::Dumper to debug something, but then forgotten a "use Data::Dumper". It leaves my program using debug tools that it never uses. Add a policy for detecting leftover debug tools. It should check for Data::Dumper, certainly, but there should be configurations on which modules it should check for.
