Perl::Critic::Policy::Bangs::ProhibitNumberedNames - Prohibit variables differentiated by trailing numbers
Similar variables should be obviously different. A lazy way to differentiate similar variables is by tacking a number at the end.
my $total = $price * $quantity;
my $total2 = $total + ($total * $taxrate);
my $total3 = $total2 + $shipping;
The difference between $total and $total3 is not described by the silly "3" at the end. Instead, it should be:
my $merch_total = $price * $quantity;
my $subtotal = $merch_total + ($merch_total * $taxrate);
my $grand_total = $subtotal + $shipping;
See http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2004/03/the_worlds_two_worst_variable.html for more of my ranting on this.
