7 "format".

10 This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
11
13 Formats are one of the oldest features of Perl. Unfortunately, they
14 suffer from several limitations. Formats are static and cannot be
15 easily defined at run time. Also, formats depend on several obscure
16 global variables.
17
18 For more modern reporting tools, consider using one of the template
19 frameworks like Template or try the Perl6::Form module.
20
22 This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
