Perl-Critic-Bangs

Changes for version 1.08 - 2011-06-20

ENHANCEMENTS
- The list of bitwise operators prohibited is now:
  - & | ^ ~ &= |= ^=

As of 1.07_01, Perl::Critic::Bangs is released under Artistic License 2.0, rather than dual-licensed with the GPL.
ENHANCEMENTS
- Added a new policy, ProhibitBitwiseOperators. Usually when you see a bitwise operator like | or & in a Perl program, it's a mistake that should have been || or &&. It also checks for ^ and ~ as bitwise ops. Thanks to Mike O'Regan.
FIXES
- Remove use of Perl::Critic::Utils::PPIRegexp, which has been removed from the Perl-Critic distribution, with calls to native PPI methods. This allows P::C::Bangs to install when using perl 5.14. Thanks, Elliot Shank.

A collection of handy Perl::Critic policies

Bitwise operators are usually accidentally used instead of logical boolean operators.

Commented-out code is usually noise. It should be removed.

Don't use XXX, TODO, or FIXME.

Know what you're going to test.

Prohibit variables differentiated by trailing numbers.

Create a clone() method if you need copies of objects.

Adding modifiers to a regular expression made up entirely of a variable created with qr() is usually not doing what you expect.

Don't use generic variable names.

To install Perl::Critic::Bangs, copy and paste the appropriate command in to your terminal.

cpanm Perl::Critic::Bangs

perl -MCPAN -e shell
install Perl::Critic::Bangs
