Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::RestrictLongStrings - Stop mixing long strings with code.
This policy is part of Perl::Critic::More, a bleeding edge supplement to Perl::Critic.
Long text strings in the middle of code is very distracting and wreaks havoc on code formatting.
Consider putting long strings in external data files,
__DATA__ sections,
or in their own subroutines.
This policy complains if a long string is not the last line of a subroutine.
"Long" is defined as 78 characters by default.
This value can be altered in your Perl::Critic configuration via the max_length property.
For example,
you may add the following to your .perlcriticrc file:
[ValuesAndExpressions::RestrictLongStrings] max_length = 50
