=head1 NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProhibitEvilVariables - Ban variables that aren't blessed by your shop.
=head1 AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core L<Perl::Critic|Perl::Critic>
distribution.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Use this policy if you wish to prohibit the use of specific variables. These
may be global variables warned against in C<perlvar>, or just variables whose
names you do not like.
=head1 CONFIGURATION
The set of prohibited variables is configurable via the C<variables> and
C<variables_file> options.
The value of C<variables> should be a string of space-delimited, fully
qualified variable names and/or regular expressions. An example of
prohibiting two specific variables in a F<.perlcriticrc> file:
[Variables::ProhibitEvilVariables]
variables = $[ $^S $SIG{__DIE__}
If you prohibit an array or hash (e.g. C<@INC>), use of elements of the array
or hash will be prohibited as well. If you specify a subscripted variable (e.g.
C<$SIG{__DIE__}>), only the literal subscript specified will be detected. The
above <.perlcritic> file, for example, will cause C<perlcritic (1)> to detect
C<$SIG{__DIE__} = \&foo>, but not
my $foo = '__DIE__';
$SIG{$foo} = \&foo;
Regular expressions are identified by values beginning and ending with
slashes. Any variable with a name that matches C<m/pattern/sm> will be
forbidden. For example:
[Variables::ProhibitEvilVariables]
variables = /acme/
would cause all variables that match C<m/acme/> to be forbidden. If
you want a case-blind check, you can use (?i: ... ). For example
[Variables::ProhibitEvilVariables]
variables = /(?i:acme)/
forbids variables that match C<m/acme/smi>.
In addition, you can override the default message ("Prohibited variable
"I<variable>" used") with your own, in order to give suggestions for
alternative action. To do so, put your message in curly braces after
the variable name or regular expression. Like this:
[Variables::ProhibitEvilVariables]
variables = $[ {Found use of $[. Program to base index 0 instead}
If your message contains curly braces, you can enclose it in parentheses,
angle brackets, or square brackets instead.
Similarly, the C<variables_file> option gives the name of a file
containing specifications for prohibited variables. Only one variable
specification is allowed per line and comments start with an octothorp
and run to end of line; no curly braces are necessary for delimiting
messages:
$[ # Prohibit the "$[" variable and use the default message.
# Prohibit the "$^S" variable and give a replacement message.
$^S Having to think about $^S in exception handlers is just wrong
# Use a regular expression.
/acme/ No coyotes allowed.
By default, there are no prohibited variables, although I can think of a
few that should be. See C<perldoc perlvar> for a few suggestions.
=head1 RESTRICTIONS
Variables of the form C<${^foo}> are not recognized by PPI as of version
1.206. When PPI recognizes these, this policy will Just Work for them too.
Only direct references to prohibited variables and literal subscripts will be
recognized. For example, if you prohibit $[, the first line in
my $foo = \$[;
$$foo = 1;
will be flagged as a violation, but not the second, even though the second, in
fact, assigns to $[. Similarly, if you prohibit $SIG{__DIE__}, this policy
will not recognize
my $foo = '__DIE__';
$SIG{$foo} = sub {warn 'I cannot die!'};
as an assignment to $SIG{__DIE__}.
=head1 NOTES
This policy leans heavily on
L<Perl::Critic::Policy::Modules::ProhibitEvilModules|Perl::Critic::Policy::Modules::ProhibitEvilModules>
