=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::References::ProhibitDoubleSigils - Write C<@{ $array_ref }> instead of C<@$array_ref>.

=head1 AFFILIATION

This Policy is part of the core L<Perl::Critic|Perl::Critic>
distribution.


=head1 DESCRIPTION

When dereferencing a reference, put braces around the reference to
separate the sigils.  Especially for newbies, the braces eliminate any
potential confusion about the relative precedence of the sigils.

  push @$array_ref, 'foo', 'bar', 'baz';      #not ok
  push @{ $array_ref }, 'foo', 'bar', 'baz';  #ok

  foreach ( keys %$hash_ref ){}               #not ok
  foreach ( keys %{ $hash_ref } ){}           #ok


=head1 CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
