Perl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::ProhibitBarewordFileHUsereContributed Perl DPerl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::ProhibitBarewordFileHandles(3pm)

NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::ProhibitBarewordFileHandles - Write "open my $fh, q{<}, $filename;" instead of "open FH, q{<}, $filename;". AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution. DESCRIPTION
Using bareword symbols to refer to file handles is particularly evil because they are global, and you have no idea if that symbol already points to some other file handle. You can mitigate some of that risk by "local"izing the symbol first, but that's pretty ugly. Since Perl 5.6, you can use an undefined scalar variable as a lexical reference to an anonymous filehandle. Alternatively, see the IO::Handle or IO::File or FileHandle modules for an object-oriented approach. open FH, '<', $some_file; #not ok open my $fh, '<', $some_file; #ok my $fh = IO::File->new($some_file); #ok There are three exceptions: STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. These three standard filehandles are always package variables. CONFIGURATION

Perl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::RequireCheckedOpen(3)User Contributed Perl DocumentatioPerl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::RequireCheckedOpen(3)

NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::RequireCheckedOpen - Write "my $error = open $fh, $mode, $filename;" instead of "open $fh, $mode, $filename;". AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution. DESCRIPTION
The perl builtin I/O function "open" returns a false value on failure. That value should always be checked to ensure that the open was successful. my $error = open( $filehandle, $mode, $filename ); # ok open( $filehandle, $mode, $filename ) or die "unable to open: $!"; # ok open( $filehandle, $mode, $filename ); # not ok use autodie; open $filehandle, $mode, $filename; # ok You can use autodie, Fatal, or Fatal::Exception to get around this. Currently, autodie is not properly treated as a pragma; its lexical effects aren't taken into account. CONFIGURATION
