NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitLvalueSubstr
DESCRIPTION
Conway discourages the use of substr()
as an lvalue, instead recommending that the 4-argument version of substr()
be used instead.
substr
(
$something
, 1, 2) =
$newvalue
;
# not ok
substr
(
$something
, 1, 2,
$newvalue
);
# ok
