NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::Bangs::ProhibitCommentedOutCode - Commented-out code is usually noise. It should be removed.

AFFILIATION

This Policy is part of the Perl::Critic::Bangs distribution.

DESCRIPTION

Commented-out code is often a sign of a place where the developer is unsure of how the code should be. If historical information about the code is important, then keep it in your version control system.

CONFIGURATION

By default, this policy attempts to look for commented out code by looking for variable assignments in code as represented by the regular expression "qr/\$[A-Za-z_].*=/" found in a comment. You can change that regex by specifying a value for "coderegex".

  [Bangs::ProhibitCommentedOutCode]
  coderegex = \$[A-Za-z_].*=/
