while others have pointed you to perlstyle - to me your question reads more
that you're after the technical specifications of what can and can't be
included in Perl
there is standard documentation which ships with Perl .. on command-line
operating systems you can almost always get to it with the 'perldoc' command
(which also ships with Perl)
for an overview of all the sections of documentation included with Perl type
the following at a command prompt
perldoc perl
the language specifications for Perl are spread over multiple files .. worth
a look for the basics are
perldata Perl data structures
perlsyn Perl syntax
perlop Perl operators and precedence
perlre Perl regular expressions
perlsub Perl subroutines
specifically perldata has the information on variable names
