NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::Modules::ProhibitEvilModules

DESCRIPTION

Use this policy if you wish to prohibit the use of specific modules. These may be modules that you feel are deprecated, buggy, unsupported, insecure, or just don't like.

CONSTRUCTOR

This policy accepts an additional key-value pair in the new method. The key should be 'modules' and the value is a string of space-delimited fully qualified module names. These can be configured in the .perlcriticrc file like this:

[Modules::ProhibitEvilModules]
modules = Getopt::Std  Autoload

By default, there aren't any prohibited modules (although I can think of a few that should be).

NOTES

Note that this policy doesn't apply to pragmas. Future versions may allow you to specify an alternative for each prohibited module, which can be suggested by Perl::Critic.
