NAME

6       Perl::Critic::Policy::Subroutines::ProhibitManyArgs - Too many
7       arguments.
8

AFFILIATION

10       This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Subroutines that expect large numbers of arguments are hard to use
14       because programmers routinely have to look at documentation to remember
15       the order of those arguments.  Many arguments is often a sign that a
16       subroutine should be refactored or that an object should be passed to
17       the routine.
18

CONFIGURATION

20       By default, this policy allows up to 5 arguments without warning.  To
21       change this threshold, put entries in a .perlcriticrc file like this:
22
23         [Subroutines::ProhibitManyArgs]
24         max_arguments = 6
25
26       To ignore $self or $class in your argument count, as long as they're
27       the first argument, use:
28
29         [Subroutines::ProhibitManyArgs]
30         skip_object = 1
31

CAVEATS

33       PPI doesn't currently detect anonymous subroutines, so we don't check
34       those.  This should just work when PPI gains that feature.
35
36       We don't check for @ARG, the alias for @_ from English.pm.  That's
37       deprecated anyway.
38

CREDITS

40       Initial development of this policy was supported by a grant from the
41       Perl Foundation.
