There doesn't seem to be anything specific to a "Perl Shop" on the list.

Perl specific maturity items would be:

1) Do all packages have documentation (pod) stored in the package file(s), and is it up to date?

2) Are there tests built using TAP (e.g. Test::More), and is this built into some kind of continuous build/test server?

3) Have a set of perlcritic rules been set up for the shop? Are these checked as part of code-review or scm check-in?

4) Is there a consistent set of rules for how external packages are brought into the current build? How are local changes to CPAN-originated packages handled?

These are the kinds of policies I'd expect to see implemented in a mature Perl Shop. The policies listed in the original post are those which I'd expect to see implemented in a mature software firm.
