NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::Subroutines::ProtectPrivateSubs

DESCRIPTION

By convention Perl authors (like authors in many other languages) indicate private methods and variables by inserting a leading underscore before the identifier. This policy catches attempts to access private variables from outside the package itself.

HISTORY

This policy is inspired by a similar test in B::Lint
