6 Perl::Critic::Policy::Bangs::ProhibitVagueNames - Don't use generic
7 variable and subroutine names.
8
10 This Policy is part of the Perl::Critic::Bangs distribution.
11
13 Variables and subroutines should have descriptive names. Names like
14 $data and $info are completely vague.
15
16 my $data = shift; # not OK.
17 my $userinfo = shift # OK
18
19 See
20 <http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2004/03/the_worlds_two_worst_variable.html>
21 for more of my ranting on this.
22
23 By default, the following names are bad: data, info, var, obj, object,
24 tmp, temp
25
26 The checking of names is case-insensitive. $info and $INFO are equally
27 bad.
28
30 This policy has two options: "names" and "add_names".
31
32 "names"
33 To replace the list of vague names, specify them as a whitespace
34 delimited set of prohibited names.
35
36 [Bangs::ProhibitVagueNames]
37 names = data count line next
38
39 "add_names"
40 To add to the list of vague names, specify them as a whitespace
41 delimited set of prohibited names.
42
43 [Bangs::ProhibitVagueNames]
44 add_names = foo bar bat
