NAME

Perl::Critic::Pulp - some add-on perlcritic policies

DESCRIPTION

This is a collection of the following add-on policies for Perl::Critic. They're under a new "pulp" theme, plus other themes according to their function (see "POLICY THEMES" in Perl::Critic).

ConstantBeforeLt -- avoiding problems with FOO < 123

See Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ConstantBeforeLt.

ConstantPragmaHash -- version declaration for hash style multi-constants

See Perl::Critic::Policy::Compatibility::ConstantPragmaHash.

NotWithCompare -- avoiding problems with ! $x == $y

See Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::NotWithCompare.

ProhibitEmptyCommas -- stray consecutive commas

See Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitEmptyCommas.

ProhibitNullStatements -- stray semicolons

See Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitNullStatements.

RequireEndBeforeLastPod -- __END__ before POD at end of file

See Perl::Critic::Policy::Documentation::RequireEndBeforeLastPod.

TextDomainPlaceholders -- check args to __x and __nx

See Perl::Critic::Policy::Miscellanea::TextDomainPlaceholders.

UnexpandedSpecialLiteral -- literal use of __PACKAGE__ etc

See Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::UnexpandedSpecialLiteral.

Roughly half are bugs and half cosmetic. You can always enable or disable the ones you do or don't want. You'll have realized there's a lot of perlcritic builtin and add-on policies and they range from very helpful to very bizarre, and in some cases mutually contradictory. So it's quite normal to pick and choose what you want reported. If you're not turning off about 1 in 4 and customizing others then either you're not trying or you're much too easily lead!

OTHER NOTES

In a lot of the perlcritic docs, including the Pulp ones here, policy names appear without the full Perl::Critic::Policy::... class name. In Emacs have a look at man-completion.el to automatically get the man page from a suffix part (at point), or ffap-perl-module.el to go to the source.

In perlcritic's output you can ask for %P for the full name. Here's a good format for your .perlcriticrc, including file:line:column: which Emacs recognises (see Perl::Critic::Violation on the % escapes).

verbose=%f:%l:%c:\n %P\n %m\n

perlcritic.el has patterns to match the builtin formats, but it's a lot easier to make perlcritic print file:line:column: in the first place.
