Perl::Critic::Pulp - some add-on perlcritic policies
This is a collection of add-on policies for Perl::Critic as follows.
They're under a new "pulp" theme plus other themes according to their purpose (see "POLICY THEMES" in Perl::Critic).
Perl version for hash style multi-constants.
Gtk2 module version for its constants.
Perl version declared against features used.
Perl version declared against POD features used.
Put __END__ before POD at end of file.
Arguments to __x,
__nx,
etc.
Locale::TextDomain imported but not used.
Don't import the whole of POSIX.
Don't quote version requirement like use Foo '1.5'
Avoid problems with FOO < 123
Avoid problems with !
$x == $y
Stray consecutive commas ,,
Stray semicolons ;
Literal use of __PACKAGE__ etc.
Roughly half are bugs and half cosmetic. You can always enable or disable the ones you do or don't want. It's normal to pick and choose what you want reported.
There's a lot of perlcritic builtin and add-on policies. They range from helpful to restrictive to bizarre and in some cases are even mutually contradictory. Many are building blocks for enforcing particular house styles. If you tried to pass all you'd give away half the language. Generally if you're not turning off or customizing up to half then either you're not trying or you're much too easily lead!
In most of the perlcritic docs,
including Pulp here,
policy names appear without the full Perl::Critic::Policy::... class name.
In Emacs try man-completion.el to automatically get the man page from a suffix part at point,
or ffap-perl-module.el to go to the source similarly.

In perlcritic's output you can ask for %P for the full policy name to paste or follow. Here's a good format you can put in your .perlcriticrc for file:line:column: which Emacs will recognise. See Perl::Critic::Violation for all the % escapes.
verbose=%f:%l:%c:\n %P\n %m\n
perlcritic.el has patterns to match the perlcritic builtin formats, but it's easier to print file:line:column: in the first place.
