NAME

       Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::RestrictLongStrings - Stop mixing long strings with code.

AFFILIATION

       This policy is part of Perl::Critic::More, a bleeding edge supplement to Perl::Critic.

DESCRIPTION

       Long text strings in the middle of code is very distracting and wreaks havoc on code formatting.  Consider putting long strings in external
       data files, "__DATA__" sections, or in their own subroutines.

       This policy complains if a long string is not the last line of a subroutine.  "Long" is defined as 78 characters by default.  This value
       can be altered in your Perl::Critic configuration via the "max_length" property.  For example, you may add the following to your
       .perlcriticrc file:

	 [ValuesAndExpressions::RestrictLongStrings]
	 max_length = 50

NAME

       Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitImplicitNewlines - Use concatenation or HEREDOCs instead of literal line breaks in
       strings.

AFFILIATION

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

DESCRIPTION

       Strings with embedded line breaks are hard to read.  Use concatenation or HEREDOCs instead.

	   my $foo = "Line one is quite long
	   Line two";					 # Bad

	   my $foo = "Line one is quite long
Line two"; # Better, but still hard to read

	   my $foo = "Line one is quite long
"
	       . "Line two";				   # Better still

	   my $foo = <<'EOF';				 # Use heredoc for longer passages
	   Line one is quite long
	   Line two
	   Line three breaks the camel's back
	   EOF

CONFIGURATION

       This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
