NAME

6       Perl::Critic::Bangs - A collection of handy Perl::Critic policies
7

VERSION

9       Version 1.12
10

SYNOPSIS

12       Perl::Critic::Bangs is a collection of Perl::Critic policies that will
13       help make your code better.
14

DESCRIPTION

16       The rules included with the Perl::Critic::Bangs group include:
17
18   Perl::Critic::Policy::Bangs::ProhibitCommentedOutCode
19       Commented-out code is usually noise.  It should be removed.
20
21   Perl::Critic::Policy::Bangs::ProhibitFlagComments
22       Watch for comments like "XXX", "TODO", etc.
23
24   Perl::Critic::Policy::Bangs::ProhibitNoPlan
25       Tests should have a plan.
26
27   Perl::Critic::Policy::Bangs::ProhibitNumberedNames
28       Subroutines and variables like $user and $user2 are insufficiently
29       distinguished.
30
31   Perl::Critic::Policy::Bangs::ProhibitRefProtoOrProto
32       Determining the class in a constructor by using "ref($proto) || $proto"
33       is usually a cut-n-paste that is incorrect.
34
35   Perl::Critic::Policy::Bangs::ProhibitUselessTopic
36       Explicitly matching or substituting against $_ is clutter.
37
38   Perl::Critic::Policy::Bangs::ProhibitUselessRegexModifiers
39       Adding modifiers to a regular expression made up entirely of a variable
40       created with "qr()" is usually not doing what you expect.
41
42   Perl::Critic::Policy::Bangs::ProhibitVagueNames
43       Vague variables and subroutines like $data or $info are not descriptive
44       enough.
45

WHY IS IT CALLED Perl::Critic::Bangs?

47       I didn't want to call it "Perl::Critic::Lester" or
48       "Perl::Critic::Petdance" since that would make it sound like they were
49       only my rules.  Other people will likely include their own set of
50       rules, too.
51
52       So I started thinking of names of famous critics.  Ebert, Siskel, Kael,
53       etc. What about music critics?  Greil Marcus, J.D. Considine...  Lester
54       Bangs!  He's even got my name in his!  So there was the name.
