I have to agree with this recommendation (Gimpel lint).
A few points, though:
- It is purely text-based, so if you are looking for a shiny GUI-based tool (easier to sell to the PHB), you are out of luck.
- depending on the quality of your code, running it for the first time can result in a huge (make that HUGE) amount of warnings. You might want to start small and only turn on more and more options later. Initially, you will have to invest quite a bit of time to get your code "lint-clean". In the long run, this is well worth it.
