=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::CodeLayout::RequireTrailingCommas - Put a comma at the end of every multi-line list declaration, including the last one.


=head1 AFFILIATION

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


=head1 DESCRIPTION

Conway suggests that all elements in a multi-line list should be
separated by commas, including the last element.  This makes it a
little easier to re-order the list by cutting and pasting.

    my @list = ($foo,
                $bar,
                $baz);  #not ok

    my @list = ($foo,
                $bar,
                $baz,); #ok


=head1 CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.


=head1 NOTES

In the PPI parlance, a "list" is almost anything with parentheses.
I've tried to make this Policy smart by targeting only "lists" that
have at least one element and are being assigned to something.
However, there may be some edge cases that I haven't covered.  If you
find one, send me a note.
