NAME

unused-vars - Find unused variables in Perl code

SYNOPSIS

 unused-vars .
 unused-vars lib/
 unused-vars -help
 unused-vars -version

OPTIONS

The following options are parsed by this script. All options not specifically mentioned below are passed to Perl-Critic.

-help

This option displays the documentation for this script. The script then exits.

-noprofile

This option specifies that no profile be used. It specifically prevents the use of the default profile.

-profile profile_file

This option specifies the profile file to use.

-single-policy policy_name

This option exists simply to intercept any attempt to specify a policy other than Variables::ProhibitUnusedVarsStricter.

-version

This option displays the version of this script. The script then exits.

DESCRIPTION

This Perl script wraps the rogue Perl::Critic policy Variables::ProhibitUnusedVarsStricter. This is a variant of Variables::ProhibitUnusedVariables that actually has some teeth.

If no arguments are passed, the contents of the MANIFEST are scanned -- at least, those which appear to be Perl files.

Almost all perlcritic options are simply passed through. However:

-profile and -noprofile are intercepted by this script so that if neither is specified it can supply its own default, which is ~/.perlcritic-unused-vars.

-single-policy is intercepted by this script to prevent it being passed to Perl-Critic. A warning is issued if this option is actually found.
