NAME

Perl::Critic::Community - Community-inspired Perl::Critic policies

SYNOPSIS

$ perlcritic --theme community script.pl
$ perlcritic --theme community lib/

# .perlcriticrc
theme = community
severity = 1

DESCRIPTION

A set of Perl::Critic policies to enforce the practices generally recommended by subsets of the Perl community, particularly on IRC. Formerly known as Perl::Critic::Freenode. Because this policy "theme" is designed to be used with zero configuration on the command line, some duplication will occur if it is used in combination with core Perl::Critic policies.

AFFILIATION
