I really like this overall direction...

I think that in general we're way overdue for at least a :

	use v5.10.1;

Or even something more aggresive, I think we can definitely depend on a
newer version for this bit of dev tooling.

That makes a lot of things in this series more pleasing to look
at. E.g. you could use named $+{} variables for regexes.

I really wish this could be changed to just put this in
t/chainlint/ScriptParser.pm early on, we could set @INC appropriately
and "use" these, which...

Would eliminate any scoping concerns about this sort of thing.

Is this "require" even needed, Time::HiRes is there since 5.7.* says
"corelist -l Time::HIRes".

If we can depend on v5.10.1 this can surely become:

	use autodie qw(open close);

No?

y'know if we add some whitespace there we can conform to
