Running Perl::Critic on Web App?

Hi folks:

I am trying to tighten up the code in a web application I have made--I run
HTML::Mason and mod_perl--and I was trying to figure out how to run
Perl::Critic or some other diagnostic tool on the whole thing, so that it
would be active for every request and I could see problems throughout the
whole thing. I tried putting it in my main handler, but it only works on the
handler. I could put a use Perl::Critic on every Mason component, but that's
tedious. Is there a way to run a module on every request at the mod_perl
level?

As the Perl::Critic POD tells you, it essentially a static source code
analysis engine.
As such it doesn't make sense to use it they way you describe.
If you are interested how you code performs, you could have a look at
