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).

Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ConstantBeforeLt

Avoiding problems with FOO < 123

Perl::Critic::Policy::Compatibility::ConstantPragmaHash

Version declaration for hash style multi-constants.

Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::NotWithCompare

Avoiding problems with ! $x == $y

Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitEmptyCommas

Stray consecutive commas.

Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitNullStatements

Stray semicolons.

Perl::Critic::Policy::Modules::ProhibitUseQuotedVersion

Unquoted version string in use Foo '1.5'

Perl::Critic::Policy::Documentation::RequireEndBeforeLastPod

__END__ before POD at end of file.

Perl::Critic::Policy::Miscellanea::TextDomainPlaceholders

Check args to __x and __nx.

Perl::Critic::Policy::Miscellanea::TextDomainUnused

Locale::TextDomain imported but not used.

Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::UnexpandedSpecialLiteral

Literal use of __PACKAGE__ etc.

Roughly half are about 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 helpful to 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 a quarter 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 my 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 similarly.

In perlcritic's output you can ask for %P for the full name. Here's a good format you can put in your .perlcriticrc with a file:line:column: which Emacs will recognise (see Perl::Critic::Violation for % escapes).

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

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