NAME ^

Perl::Critic::Policy::CodeLayout::RequireTrailingCommas

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

NOTES ^

In the PPI parlance, a "list" is almost anything with parens. 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.
