Perl::Critic can and should be used to greatly improve the quality of any Perl code. The only disadvantage of perl::Critic is that it provides no history.

Bonus: How to convince management to fund a Perl::Critic evaluation and improvement of your codebase.

Here are the slides of my talk at YAPC::EU 2012.
