NAME

6       Perl::Critic::Policy::CodeLayout::ProhibitHardTabs - Use spaces instead
7       of tabs.
8

AFFILIATION

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

DESCRIPTION

13       Putting hard tabs in your source code (or POD) is one of the worst
14       things you can do to your co-workers and colleagues, especially if
15       those tabs are anywhere other than a leading position.  Because various
16       applications and devices represent tabs differently, they can cause you
17       code to look vastly different to other people.  Any decent editor can
18       be configured to expand tabs into spaces.  Perl::Tidy also does this
19       for you.
20
21       This Policy catches all tabs in your source code, including POD,
22       quotes, and HEREDOCs.  The contents of the "__DATA__" section are not
23       examined.
24

CONFIGURATION

26       Hard tabs in a string are always forbidden (use "\t" instead).  But
27       hard tabs in a leading position are allowed when they are used to
28       indent code statements, "qw()" word lists, and regular expressions with
29       the "/x" modifier.  However, if you want to forbid all tabs everywhere,
30       then add this to your .perlcriticrc file:
31
32           [CodeLayout::ProhibitHardTabs]
33           allow_leading_tabs = 0
34

NOTES

36       Beware that Perl::Critic may report the location of the string that
37       contains the tab, not the actual location of the tab, so you may need
38       to do some hunting.  I'll try and fix this in the future.
