NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::TestingAndDebugging::ProhibitProlongedStrictureOverride - Don't turn off strict for large blocks of code.

AFFILIATION

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

DESCRIPTION

Every agrees that "use strict" is the first step to writing maintainable code in Perl. However, sometimes "strict" is a little too strict. In those cases, you can turn it off briefly with a "no strict" directive.

This policy checks that "no strict" is only in effect for a small number of statements.

CONFIGURATION

The default number of statements allowed per "no strict" is three. To override this number, put the following in your .perlcriticrc:

    [TestingAndDebugging::ProhibitProlongedStrictureOverride]
    statements = 5
