- Updating module to 1.098
- Allow to select recommended dependencies using options framework
Upstream changes:
[1.098] Released on 2009-03-07
Some Exciting News:
The Perl Development Kit (PDK 8.0) from ActiveState now includes a
very slick graphical interface to Perl-Critic. I highly recommend
that you check it out. Here's a link to screenshots and docs:
http://docs.activestate.com/pdk/8.0/PerlCritic_gui.html
New Features:
* Violation coloring is now configurable via command line or profile. The
profile entries are color-severity-highest, -high, -medium, -low, or
-lowest. Numbers are accepted in lieu of named severities (e.g.
'color-severity-5' for 'color-severity-highest'), and 'colour' is
accepted in lieu of 'color'.
* Handling of unrecognized policy configuration items is now controlled by
the profile_strictness. The default is to warn about them. The previous
default was that they were fatal.
* -p is now a synonym for --profile.
* The --verbose option for perlcritic now supports a %C format that will
displays the class of PPI::Element that caused the violation.
Policy Changes:
* ControlStructures::ProhibitNegativeExpressionsInUnlessAndUntilConditions
didn't include "pbp" in its default themes even though it is derived
from the book. Now it does. :]
* ErrorHandling::RequireCarping now allows a here document as the last
element if the "allow_messages_ending_with_newlines" option is true.
* Fix Subroutines::ProhibitAmpersandSigils so it allows "defined(&x)" as
well as "defined &x". Patch from Kevin Ryde, RT #38855.
* Subroutines::ProtectPrivateSubs now has an "allow" option to specify
subroutines which are exempt from this policy. RT #38678.
Additionally, a "private_name_regex" option has been added that allows
you to specify what a private subrouting name looks like.
* Subroutines::RequireArgUnpacking now has an "allow_subscripts" option
to allow array slices and elements. RT #34009.
* Subroutines::RequireArgUnpacking now has an "allow_delegation_to" option
to allow the usual delegation idiom. Delegation to 'SUPER::' and
'NEXT::' are allowed by default. RT #33839.
* Subroutines::RequireArgUnpacking no longer generates a false positive
for '$$_[]', which is an obfuscated way of saying '$_->[]'. RT #37713.
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitMagicNumbers now has an
allow_to_the_right_of_a_fat_comma option, which defaults to true. Note
that it currently only works /directly/ to the right of a fat comma.
* Variables::ProhibitMatchVars had its default themes changed to "core
performance pbp", instead of "core bugs pbp" because, while the match
variables make regular expressions slow, it doesn't cause them to not
work correctly.
* Variables::ProhibitPackageVars has had FindBin and Log::Log4perl added
to the default exemptions.
* Variables::ProhibitReusedNames now has an "allow" option to specify
names that can be reused. It defaults to enabling $self and $class. RT
#42767.
* Variables::RequireLocalizedPunctuationVars has a customizable set of
exemptions via the "allow" option.
New Developer Features:
* The guts of perlcritic have been moved to Perl::Critic::Command. You
can invoke Perl::Critic::Command::run() to get the equivalent of running
the command. (Note, however, this interface WILL change, so don't count
on the current one.)
* Modules have had a "INTERFACE SUPPORT" section added which states
whether the Perl::Critic developers consider the particular module is
public or not. Any removal of functionality from a public module will
go through a deprecation cycle. Non-public modules may have their
interfaces changed without notice.
* P::C::Policy now has an is_enabled() method.
* P::C::Violation now has an element_class() method.
Bug Fixes:
* CodeLayout::ProhibitTrailingWhitespace didn't notice cases where PPI
would produce instances of PPI::Token::Whitespace that contained
multiple lines.
* Subroutines::ProtectPrivateSubs no longer regards the exportable POSIX
subroutines whose names begin with underscore as private. RT #38678.
* Subroutines::RequireArgUnpacking mishandled a complicated sitation with
$_ being an array reference. RT #39601.
* Variables::RequireLocalizedPunctuationVars now applies to subscripted
names. RT #29384.
Internals:
* The guts of Build.PL and Makefile.PL have been rearranged.

[1.097_001] Released on 2009-03-01
Changes summarized into 1.098 above. For exact details, see Changes on
BackPAN.
[1.096] Released on 2009-02-01
New Policies:
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitSpecialLiteralHeredocTerminator
Policy Changes:
* Documentation::PodSpelling now has a stop_words_file option.
* Modules::ProhibitEvilModules now has a modules_file option.
Bug Fixes:
* ErrorHandling::RequireCarping will now allow a literal newline
as well as "\n". Fixed by Kyle Hasselbacher, RT #25046
* Fix InputOutput::ProhibitTwoArgOpen so it allows '-|' or '|-' as the
second of two arguments. Patches from Kyle Hasselbacher and Leland
Johnson, RT #42384.
* InputOutput::RequireBracedFileHandleWithPrint applies to printf as well
as print. Fixed by Kyle Hasselbacher, RT #42537.
* TestingAndDebugging::RequireUseStrict and
TestingAndDebugging::RequireUseWarnings are no longer fooled by a
block-scoped pragma. RT #42310.
* ValuesAndExpressions::RequireInterpolationOfMetachars allows for escaped
backslashes. Fixed by Tom Wyant, RT #38530.
* Fix for problem in P::C::Document in dealing with underscores in
expressions like "use 5.009_001". Patch by Kevin Ryde, RT #36570 and
#42089.
* Fix in extras/perlcritic.el for a radio button. Patch by Kevin Ryde, RT
#42190.
* Fix distclean target in Makefile.PL. Patch by Richard Soderberg,
RT #42088.
* Fix temporary files not being cleaned up after tests. Patch by Kyle
Hasselbacher, RT #41443.
* Deal with changes in Pod::Parser v1.36 in test in t/05_utils_pod.t.
Documentation improvements contributed by Mark Grimes in response to RT
#41942.

Pkgsrc changes:
o Change to Module::Build
Upstream changes:
[1.094001] Released on 2009-01-01
Bug Fixes:
* Tests would fail on systems without Regexp::Parser installed.
[1.094] Released on 2009-01-01
Incompatible Changes:
* The way that "## no critic" markers was refactored. As
a result, we discovered that the syntax for the markers was pretty
vague. If you didn't do it just right, it would disable all policies,
and not just the specific ones that you wanted. So we've tightened this
up a bit. If you followed the examples that have been in the docs for
the last couple years, then you should be fine. But if you've been
using certain other variations in your "## no critic" markers, then you
might suddenly find yourself violating the new
ProhibtUnrestrictedNoCritic policy. To fix this, just make sure your
Policy names appear in parentheses:
## no critic Foo, Bar, Baz # wrong!
## no critic Foo Bar Baz # wrong!
## no critic (Foo, Bar, Baz) # ok!
## no critic qw(Foo Bar Baz) # also ok!
* The deprecated $FORMAT variables for Perl::Critic::Policy and
Perl::Critic::Violation no longer exist. Use the corresponding
get_format() and set_format() functions instead.
New Policies:
* Miscellanea::ProhibitUnrestrictedNoCritic
* Miscellanea::ProhibitUselessNoCritic
* NamingConventions::Capitalization
* Subroutines::ProhibitReturnSort
* Variables::ProhibitReusedNames
Removed Policies:
* NamingConventions::ProhibitMixedCaseSubs and
NamingConventions::ProhibitMixedCaseVars have been moved to a separate
Perl-Critic-Deprecated distribution. The
NamingConventions::Capitalization policy does everything they do, plus
more.
Policy Changes:
* BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitStringyEval now has an allow_includes option
that makes it behave (mostly) like Ricardo SIGNES'
Perl::Critic::Policy::Lax::ProhibitStringyEval::ExceptForRequire.
* InputOutput::RequireCheckedClose, InputOutput::RequireCheckedOpen, and
InputOutput::RequireCheckedSyscalls now all support autodie.
Unfortunately, autodie is currently treated like a module and not a
pragma, which means that the lexical scoping is not taken into account.
* InputOutput::RequireCheckedSyscalls now has an exclude_functions
parameter.
* Modules::ProhibitEvilModules now allows you to specify what the
description of a use of a bad module should be, to, say, suggest that
people use autodie instead of Fatal.
* Subroutine::ProhibitExcessComplexity violation descriptions now include
the name of the subroutine, thanks to Andreas Koenig, RT #40070.
* TestingAndDebugging::RequireUseStrict and
TestingAndDebugging::RequireUseWarnings now have equivalent_modules
parameters that allow you to designate other modules as being equivalent
to the strict and warnings pragmata. This one is for all you Moose fans
out there. :]
Bug Fixes:
* ControlStructures::ProhibitUnreachableCode would treat package
statements as unreachable. Fixed by Kevin Ryde. RT #41734
* Fix warning from InputOutput::ProhibitOneArgSelect when select was
called with no arguments. RT #41926
* Miscellanea::RequireRcsKeywords couldn't find keywords after __END__
that didn't look like part of POD.
* Modules::RequireFilenameMatchesPackage would incorrectly complain about
programs. Yet more greatness contributed by Schwern. RT #39024.
* If a perlcriticrc file referred to a policy that wasn't installed and
the profile-strictness option was set to "fatal",
Perl::Critic::PolicyFactory fell over instead of reporting the
problematic policy name.
Miscellanea:
* Perl::Critic::Violation will automatically strip trailing periods
from your Policy description and explanation strings. This ensures that
the punctuation is consistent with the format specified by the user via
the -verbose formatting options.
New Developer Features:
* Perl::Critic::Policy::prepare_to_scan_document() is now checked and a
Policy can disable itself for just a single document, which can speed
things up.
[1.093_03] Released on 2008-12-11
[1.093_02] Released on 2008-10-30
[1.093_01] Released on 2008-09-07
Changes summarized into 1.094 above. For exact details, see Changes in
1.093_003 on BackPAN.
Pkgsrc changes:
o Re-order DEPENDS to match META.yml from package
Upstream changes:
[1.092] Released on 2008-09-02
Bug Fixes:
* Fixed POD errors that were causing build failures. Sorry
about that.
[1.091] Released on 2008-09-01
New Policies:
* RegularExpressions::RequireDotMatchAnything
New Features:
* perlcritic now supports a -pager option, so you can more easily
send the output to your favorite pager. You can set this option
on the command-line or in your .perlcriticrc file. See the
perlcritic perldoc for more details. Credit to Michael Schwern.
* The output from "perlcritic -doc PATTERN" will be automatically
sent to your pager if you have set the -pager option.
Policy Changes:
* CodeLayout::ProhibitQuotedWordLists no longer applies if the list
contains any non-words, by default. A non-word is anything that does
not match /[\w-]+/. You can restore the former behavior by setting the
"strict" option. RT #37886.
* CodeLayout::ProhibitQuotedWordLists also now applies to the import
arguments of a C<use> statement. RT #24467.
* ErrorHandling::RequireCheckingReturnValueOfEval now recognizes ternary
left-sides as valid checks.
* RegularExpressions::RequireExtendedFormatting gains a
minimum_regex_length_to_complain_about option. Also, regexes that
contain only word and whitespace characters are now exempt from this
policy, by default; you can make it complain about them by turning on
the new strict option. Contributed by Michael Schwern. RT #38531.
* TestingAndDebugging::ProhibitNoWarnings now supports a
allow_with_category_restriction option, thanks to Michael Schwern.
RT #38514.
* CodeLayout::ProhibitHardTabs now allows leading tabs in qw() word lists
and regexes with the /x modifier. You can still configure this
policy to forbid all hard tabs, if you like. RT #32440
Bug Fixes:
* perlcritic should now work under PAR. RT #38380.
* URL for our repository in META.yml now works for anonymous
checkout. The password is "" (empty). RT #38628.
* color for high-severity violations is now magenta because
it is more redable than yellow on white backgrounds. RT #38511.
to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.8.8 -> 5.10.0.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=...").
Pkgsrc changes:
o Adjust dependencies to match new requirements
Upstream changes:
[1.090] Released on 2008-07-22
Bug Fixes:
* Test was incorrectly failing when Regexp::Parser wasn't installed.
[1.089] Released on 2008-07-21
Minor Enhancements:
* -s is now a synonym for --single-policy.
Policy Changes:
* Subroutines::ProhibitBuiltinHomonyms now also prohibits subroutines
with the same name as a Perl keyword (e.g. if, foreach, while).
Inspired by RT #37632.
* Subroutines::ProtectPrivateSubs now allows expressions like
"shift->_some_private_method();". Note that this *only* applies
to the "shift" function -- a private method call on the right of any
other bareword still causes a violation. RT #34713.
* Subroutines::RequireFinalReturn now includes exec in the set of things
that mark a successful return. RT #37672
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitInterpolationOfLiterals now takes a
allow_if_string_contains_single_quote option. Contributed by Ed
Avis <ed@membled.com>. RT #36125.
* ValuesAndExpressions::RequireInterpolationOfMetachars now supports a
rcs_keywords option to allow for the common case where those require
dollar signs.
Bug Fixes:
* BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitSleepViaSelect would complain if there were
three undefs as arguments to select(), but one of them was the timeout.
RT #37416.
* Reduced false positives in
RegularExpressions::ProhibitSingleCharAlternation. Thanks to
Andy Lester and Elliot Shank test cases.
* RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusedCapture would complain if there were
multiple captures used in a substitution, e.g. s/(.)(.)/$2$1/.
* Subroutines::ProhibitAmpersandSigils no longer complains about
"sort &foo(...)".
* Makefile.PL, Build.PL and other ".PL" scripts which typically do not
have a shebang are no longer mistaken as modules. This prevents
spurious warnings from Modules::RequireEndWithOne. RT #20481.
Internals:
* Tests are now self compliant.
[1.088] Released on 2008-07-04
New Policies
* ErrorHandling::RequireCheckingReturnValueOfEval
Policy Changes:
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitLeadingZeros now accepts octal numbers
for the Unix permissions argument to chmod, dbmopen, mkdir, sysopen, or
umask, by default. Use the "strict" option to get the old behavior.
RT #31977.
* Due to the consensus at YAPC::NA 2008,
Variables::ProhibitUnusedVariables default severity has been raised to
medium/3.
Minor Changes:
* The perlcritic "--Version" option is now "--version" in order to act
like the rest of the world.
[1.087] Released on 2008-06-21
Policy Changes:
* CodeLayout::ProhibitParensWithBuiltins no longer complains about
sort(foo(@x)).
* TestingAndDebugging::RequireUseWarnings will not complain about files
that contain a "use 5.005" statement or similar for perls prior to 5.6.
Lesson of the day: computer conferences where you can meet in the real
world can clarify conversations greatly. Good to finally meet you Adam.
* InputOutput::ProhibitTwoArgOpen similarly will not complain if there's
a "use/require 5.005" statement in the file. RT #34385.
Bug fixes:
* Perl::Critic can now critique a file named "0". However, PPI will give
a parse error until the next version comes out. Fixes RT #36127.
* Moved detection of the lack of any enabled Policies from P::C::Config
to Perl::Critic. This was causing the perlcritic.t in Parrot to fail.
Note, however, there are plans afoot to change how Perl::Critic is
configured and things that depend upon that may break. Please contact
users@perlcritic.tigris.org and tell us how you're using P::C::Config
directly so that we can take your needs into account.
[1.086] Released on 2008-06-12
Policy Changes:
* NamingConventions::ProhibitAmbiguousNames now specifies the name that
it had problems with in its violation descriptions.
Bug fixes:
* The color option wasn't being correctly set from a .perlcriticrc.
RT #36569.
Minor changes:
* --colour is now a synonym for --color.
[1.085] Released on 2008-06-07
New Policies:
* Documentation::RequirePackageMatchesPodName
Policy Changes:
* Variables::ProhibitUnusedVariables detects a few more cases. It's
still very limited, though.
Bug fixes:
* ControlStructures::ProhibitUnreachableCode didn't notice "until" was an
conditional expression.
Minor documentation updates.
[1.084] Released on 2008-05-24
New Features:
* perlcritic now supports a --list-themes option.
* You can specify the maximum number of violations you want per Policy
per document. Developers can give a default value for this for a
Policy by overriding default_maximum_violations_per_document().
See RequireUseStrict and ProhibitMagicNumbers for examples.
Policy Moved:
* The ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitMagicNumbers policy has been moved
from Perl::Critic::More into the primary Perl::Critic distribution.
New Policies:
* Variables::ProhibitUnusedVariables (very dumb, limited initial
implementation.)
* ControlStructures::ProhibitLabelsWithSpecialBlockNames
Contributed by Mike O'Regan. Kickin' ass, Mike.
Policy Changes:
* ControlStructures::ProhibitUnreachableCode now handles the perl 5.10
"//" and "err" operators. RT #36080
* InputOutput::RequireBriefOpen now ignores opens of STDIN, STDOUT,
and STDERR. You're generally trying to make long-lasting global
effects when manipulating these. (RT #35774)
* RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusualDelimiters now supports an
"allow_all_brackets" option.
* RegularExpressions::RequireBracesForMultiline now supports an
"allow_all_brackets" option.
* TestingAndDebugging::RequireUseStrict now accepts "use Moose::Role"
as equivalent to "use strict". (RT #34838)
* TestingAndDebugging::RequireUseWarnings now accepts "use Moose::Role"
as equivalent to "use warnings". (RT #34838)
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitMagicNumbers now accepts constant
subroutines.
* Variables::ProhibitMatchVars no longer detects "use English;".
This problem is detected in a more clear way by
Modules::RequireNoMatchVarsWithUseEnglish.
* Variables::ProhibitPerl4PackageNames no longer complains about
$'/$POSTMATCH. RT #36059
* Variables::RequireLocalizedPunctuationVars now allows the use of "my".
RT #33937
Bug Fixes:
* No longer falls over if a single file has a parse error.
New Developer Features:
* If a document specifies a minimum perl version, e.g. "use 5.008003",
P::C::Document::highest_explicit_perl_version() will tell you what it
is.
* The parameter to P::C::Policy::initialize_if_enabled is now a
P::C::PolicyConfig object instead of a hash reference.
Minor Changes:
* LOTS of documentation updates.
* A few more statistics are emitted by perlcritic with the --statistics
option.
* perlcritic --profile-proto now includes policy abstracts in its
output.
Prerequisites:
* Now depends upon PPI 1.203.
* New dependency upon version.

[1.083_001] Released on 2008-04-13
Changes summarized into 1.084 above. For exact details, see Changes in
1.083_006 on BackPAN.
[1.082] Released on 2008-03-08
New Features:
* A new metadata system for defining policy parameters/options has been
added. This makes the life of policy authors easier because
configuration validation and parsing can be taken care of
automatically, in most cases. This allows greater integration with
IDEs and allows the perlcritic "--profile-proto" option to produce
better output.
Note: This change does NOT REQUIRE ANY CHANGES to policies outside of
this distribution; they should continue to work as is. However, use
of this facility can reduce the size of your code and provide the
means for tools to discover more about your policy. If this change
does break any of your policies, please let us know.
To learn how to take advantage of this facility, read
Perl::Critic::DEVELOPER and look at the source of any of the
configurable policies included in this distribution.
There is a discussion of the design considerations for this facility in
the source repository under doc/PolicyParameter_Notes.pod.
* Added support for "criticism-fatal" option in your perlcriticrc
file. This will be used by the criticism pragma to cause execution
to abort if the file contains any violations.
New Policy:
* Module::RequireNoMatchVarsWithUseEnglish
Policy Changes:
* Added an allow_last_statement_to_be_comma_separated_in_map_and_grep
option to ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitCommaSeparatedStatements.
Partial response to http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=27654.
* ControlStructures::ProhibitPostfixControls gains the ability to have
the flow control statements allowed to be modified. This in response
to RT #29540.
* TestingAndDebugging::RequireUseStrict now accepts "use Moose" as
equivalent to "use strict".
* TestingAndDebugging::RequireUseWarnings now accepts "use Moose" as
equivalent to "use warnings".
Bug Fixes:
* RT #31281 perlcritic doesn't recognize "#!/bin/env perl" shebang
* Replace usage of Unicode property escapes with POSIX character classes
order to restore 5.6 compatability.
* RT #30388 ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitVersionStrings complained
about numbered directories in "use lib".
* Fixed handling of badly behaved spelling programs in PodSpelling.

Changes summarized into 1.082 above. For exact details, see Changes in
1.081_006 on BackPAN.
[1.080] Released on 2007-11-11
New Features:
* Allow a "## no critic" statement after a shebang on line 1 of a
file. This allows users to block violations that apply to
whole files and still allow shebangs.
New Policies: (funded by a Perl Foundation grant)
* InputOutput::ProhibitExplicitStdin
* RegularExpressions::ProhibitFixedStringMatches
* RegularExpressions::RequireBracesForMultiline
* RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusualDelimiters
* RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusedCapture
* RegularExpressions::ProhibitComplexRegexes
* RegularExpressions::ProhibitSingleCharAlternation
* RegularExpressions::ProhibitEscapedMetacharacters
* RegularExpressions::ProhibitEnumeratedClasses
* InputOutput::RequireBriefOpen
* InputOutput::RequireCheckedSyscalls
Other New Policies
* ControlStructures::ProhibitNegativeExpressionsInUnlessAndUntilConditions
Policy Changes:
* Variables::ProhibitConditionalDeclarations now permits you to local-ize
variables in conditional declarations. This makes sense, since
C<local> is actually a variable modifier, rather than a declaration.
Thanks to David Golden for reporting this.
New Developer Features:
* Perl::Critic::Utils::PPIRegexp encapsulates interaction with
the PPI Regexp token classes. Those classes have very sparse
APIs, so this package hides away the ugly fiddling with PPI
internals.
* Added a new optional_modules parameter for the .run syntax.
Bug fixes:
* PPI::Structure::List can now contain multiple children,
so P::C::Utils::parse_arg_list() needs to handle it.
This was done in the process of fixing
http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=24924, which was a problem
with TestingAndDebugging::RequireTestLabels.
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitLongChainsOfMethodCalls wasn't resetting
chain length when it ran into the end of a sub-expression.
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=30040
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitCommaSeparatedStatements was reporting
false positives when builtins which accept both no and multiple
arguments were involved.
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=27654
Internals:
* Removed all use of Carp in favor of exceptions.
Prerequisites:
* Now requires PPI 1.201. A number of workarounds for PPI bugs have been
removed.
* New dependency upon Exception::Class.
Installation:
* Use Devel::CheckOS to see whether Perl::Critic is being installed on
a Solaris system and warn about tar(1) chopping file names off if it
is.
[1.079_003] Released on 2007-10-22
[1.079_002] Released on 2007-10-21
[1.079_001] Released on 2007-10-09
Changes summarized into 1.080 above. For exact details, see Changes in
1.079_003 on BackPAN.
[1.078] Released on 2007-09-19
Restore Perl::Critic::TestUtils::should_skip_author_tests() and
get_author_test_skip_message(). Some Perl::Critic add-on distributions
are using them.
[1.077] Released on 2007-09-15
Note: if you don't have any problems installing Perl::Critic 1.076, there
is no need to upgrade to this version. There are no functionality
changes. This release only contains changes related to installation that
a few people were experiencing.
Minor changes:
* Removed build-time use of Readonly, again, due to problems some people
were having when trying to compile the code by hand, rather than using
CPAN(PLUS)?.
* Don't run author tests if there's a .svn directory present because
users who grabbed the code from the source repository were executing
them and getting failures.
* Don't generate optional, module-hiding test wrappers if author tests
are not enabled.
[1.076] Released on 2007-09-07
It appears from reports on the 1.075_001 release that the subroutine
sigils were indeed the problem. Release to the general populace.
[1.075_001] Released on 2007-09-06
Bug Fixes:
Undo the changes in 1.073 and 1.074. Instead, stop using the subroutine
sigil in import and export lists. It is suspected that the problem lies
with Exporter stripping off ampersands.
[1.074] Released on 2007-09-04
Bug Fixes:
Repeat the Makefile.PL change on
t/generate_without_optional_dependencies_wrappers.PL.
I love CPAN Testers.
[1.073] Released on 2007-09-04
Bug Fixes:
Work around problems with the combination of Exporter & Readonly in
Makefile.PL on some machines.
[1.072] Released on 2007-09-03
Bug Fixes:
* The Makefile generated by Makefile.PL was not syntactically correct
according to some versions of Solaris. Thanks to Diab Jerius
(DJERIUS) for discovery and testing.
* Fixed mis-definition of "quiet" value for the "--profile-strictness"
option.
* Enhanced testing with the absence of optional modules.
[1.071] Released on 2007-08-24
The "Brown Paper Bag" Release
Bug Fixes:
* Tests would not pass in environments that did not have all optional
dependencies installed.
Packages Collection.
The Perl 5 module Perl::Critic is an extensible framework for
creating and applying coding standards to Perl source code.
Essentially, it is a static source code analysis engine. Perl::Critic
is distributed with a number of Perl::Critic::Policy modules that
attempt to enforce various coding guidelines. Most Policy modules
are based on Damian Conway's book Perl Best Practices. However,
Perl::Critic is not limited to PBP and will even support Policies
that contradict Conway. You can enable, disable, and customize
those Polices through the Perl::Critic interface. You can also
create new Policy modules that suit your own tastes.
A front-end script, perlcritic, is provided.
