NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::NamingConventions::ProhibitMixedCaseVars - Write $my_variable = 42 instead of $MyVariable = 42.

AFFILIATION

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

DESCRIPTION

Conway's recommended naming convention is to use lower-case words separated by underscores. Well-recognized acronyms can be in ALL CAPS, but must be separated by underscores from other parts of the name.

my $foo_bar   #ok
my $foo_BAR   #ok
my @FOO_bar   #ok
my %FOO_BAR   #ok

my $FooBar   #not ok
my $FOObar   #not ok
my @fooBAR   #not ok
my %fooBar   #not ok

CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
