What is libcriticism-perl
libcriticism-perl is:
The cristicism pragma enforces coding standards and promotes best-practices by running your file through Perl::Critic before every execution. In a production system, this usually isn’t feasible because it adds a lot of overhead at start-up.

If Perl::Critic can’t be loaded, then “criticism” just fails silently.
