NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProhibitMatchVars
DESCRIPTION
Using the "match variables" $`
, $&
, and/or $'
can significantly degrade the performance of a program. This policy forbids using them or their English equivalents. It also forbids plain use English;
so you should instead employ use English '-no_match_vars';
which avoids the match variables. See perldoc English or PBP page 82 for more information.
