Perl::Critic::Community - Community-inspired Perl::Critic policies
A set of Perl::Critic policies to enforce the practices generally recommended by subsets of the Perl community, particularly on IRC. Formerly known as Perl::Critic::Freenode. Because this policy "theme" is designed to be used with zero configuration ...

Perl::Critic::Community::Utils - Utility functions for the Community policy set
This module contains utility functions for use in Perl::Critic::Community policies. All functions are exportable on demand....

Perl::Critic::Policy::Community::Each - Don't use each to iterate through a hash
The "each()" function relies on an iterator internal to a hash (or array), which is the same iterator used by "keys()" and "values()". So deleting or adding hash elements during iteration, or just calling "keys()" or "values()" on the hash, will caus...

Perl::Critic::Policy::Community::Threads - Interpreter-based threads are officially discouraged
Perl interpreter threads are officially discouraged. They were created to emulate "fork()" in Windows environments, and are not fast or lightweight as one may expect. Non-blocking code or I/O can be easily parallelized by using an event loop such as ...

Perl::Critic::Policy::Community::ModPerl - Don't use mod_perl to write web applications
mod_perl <http://perl.apache.org/> is an embedded Perl interpreter for the Apache <http://www.apache.org/> web server. It allows you to dynamically configure and mod Apache. It is not a generally good solution for writing web applications. Frameworks...

Perl::Critic::Policy::Community::DollarAB - Don't use $a or $b as variable names outside sort
The special variables $a and $b are reserved for "sort()" and similar functions which assign to them to iterate over pairs of values. These are global variables, and declaring them as lexical variables with "my" to use them outside this context can b...

Perl::Critic::Policy::Community::OpenArgs - Always use the three-argument form of open
The "open()" function may be called in a two-argument form where the filename is parsed to determine the mode of opening, which may include piping input or output. (In the one-argument form, this filename is retrieved from a global variable, but the ...

Perl::Critic::Policy::Community::Wantarray - Don't write context-sensitive functions using wantarray
Context-sensitive functions, while one way to write functions that DWIM (Do What I Mean), tend to instead lead to unexpected behavior when the function is accidentally used in a different context, especially if the function's behavior changes signifi...

Perl::Critic::Policy::Community::Prototypes - Don't use function prototypes
Function prototypes are primarily a hint to the Perl parser for parsing the function's argument list. They are not a way to validate or count the arguments passed to the function, and will cause confusion if used this way. Often, the prototype can si...

Perl::Critic::Policy::Community::LoopOnHash - Don't loop over hashes
It's possible to loop over a hash as if it was a list, which results in alternating between the keys and values of the hash. Often, the intent was instead to loop over either the keys or the values of the hash. foreach my $foo (%hash) { ... } # not o...

Perl::Critic::Policy::Community::EmptyReturn - Don't use return with no arguments
Context-sensitive functions, while one way to write functions that DWIM (Do What I Mean), tend to instead lead to unexpected behavior when the function is accidentally used in a different context, especially if the function's behavior changes signifi...

Perl::Critic::Policy::Community::POSIXImports - Don't use POSIX without specifying an import list
The POSIX module imports hundreds of symbols (functions and constants) by default for backwards compatibility reasons. To avoid this, and to assist in finding where functions have been imported from, specify the symbols you want to import explicitly ...

Perl::Critic::Policy::Community::WarningsSwitch - Scripts should not use the -w switch on the shebang line
The "-w" switch enables warnings globally in a perl program, including for any modules that did not explicitly enable or disable any warnings. The "-W" switch enables warnings even for modules that explicitly disabled them. The primary issue with thi...

Perl::Critic::Policy::Community::StrictWarnings - Always use strict and warnings, or a module that imports these
The strict and warnings pragmas help avoid many common pitfalls such as misspellings, scoping issues, and performing operations on undefined values. Warnings can also alert you to deprecated or experimental functionality. The pragmas may either be ex...

Perl::Critic::Policy::Community::OverloadOptions - Don't use overload without specifying a bool overload and enabling fallback
The overload module allows an object class to specify behavior for an object used in various operations. However, when activated it enables additional behavior by default: it autogenerates overload behavior for operators that are not specified, and i...

Perl::Critic::Policy::Community::ArrayAssignAref - Don't assign an anonymous arrayref to an array
A common mistake is to assign values to an array but use arrayref brackets "[]" rather than parentheses "()". This results in the array containing one element, an arrayref, which is usually unintended. If intended, the arrayref brackets can be wrappe...

Perl::Critic::Policy::Community::AmpersandSubCalls - Don't use & to call subroutines
Ampersands ("&") were once needed to call subroutines, but in modern Perl they are not only unnecessary but actually change the behavior from what you may expect. Calling a subroutine with an ampersand ignores the subroutine's prototype if any, which...

Perl::Critic::Policy::Community::DeprecatedFeatures - Avoid features that have been deprecated or removed from Perl
While Perl::Critic::Policy::Community::StrictWarnings will expose usage of deprecated or removed features when a modern perl is used, this policy will detect such features in use regardless of perl version, to assist in keeping your code modern and f...

Perl::Critic::Policy::Community::DiscouragedModules - Various modules discouraged from use
Various modules are discouraged by some subsets of the community, for various reasons which may include: buggy behavior, cruft, performance problems, maintainer issues, or simply better modern replacements. This is a high severity complement to Perl:...

Perl::Critic::Policy::Community::BarewordFilehandles - Don't use bareword filehandles other than built-ins
Bareword filehandles are allowed in "open()" as a legacy feature, but will use a global package variable. Instead, use a lexical variable with "my" so that the filehandle is scoped to the current block, and will be automatically closed when it goes o...
