Not quite trivial but it's done - see 
<https://github.com/PGBuildFarm/client-code/commit/92f94ba7df8adbcbdb08f0138d8b5e686611ba1f>.

crake is now set up to run this - see 
<https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_stage_log.pl?nm=crake&dt=2018-05-26%2014%3A32%3A19&stg=perl-check>

So, are there any other objections?

The patch Mike supplied doesn't give us a clean run (at least on the 
machine I tested on), since it turns down the severity level to 4 but 
leaves some items unfixed. I propose to enable this policy at level 5 
for now, and then remove that when we can go down to level 4 cleanly, 
and use its default setting at that stage.

cheers
