Variables
Hi All
Trying to get a better handle on variables. ie how $1, $2, $3... are used. I have tried searching this site without much luck. When it would be used in [ $1 = -d ] how is $1 used in a program? I know you can asign variables x=4, just do not understand $1, $2.
Thanks, Doug

perl::critic::policy::variables::prohibitpackagevars
Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProhibitPackageVars(3pmUser Contributed Perl DocumentatiPerl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProhibitPackageVars(3pm)
NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProhibitPackageVars - Eliminate globals declared with "our" or "use vars".
AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
DESCRIPTION
Conway suggests avoiding package variables completely, because they expose your internals to other packages. Never use a package variable
when a lexical variable will suffice. If your package needs to keep some dynamic state, consider using an object or closures to keep the
state private.
This policy assumes that you're using "strict vars" so that naked variable declarations are not package variables by default. Thus, it
complains you declare a variable with "our" or "use vars", or if you make reference to variable with a fully-qualified package name.
$Some::Package::foo = 1; # not ok
our $foo = 1; # not ok
use vars '$foo'; # not ok
$foo = 1; # not allowed by 'strict'
local $foo = 1; # bad taste, but technically ok.
use vars '$FOO'; # ok, because it's ALL CAPS
my $foo = 1; # ok
In practice though, its not really practical to prohibit all package variables. Common variables like $VERSION and @EXPORT need to be
global, as do any variables that you want to Export. To work around this, the Policy overlooks any variables that are in ALL_CAPS. This
forces you to put all your exported variables in ALL_CAPS too, which seems to be the usual practice anyway.
CONFIGURATION
There is room for exceptions. Some modules, like the core File::Find module, use package variables as their only interface, and others
like Data::Dumper use package variables as their most common interface. These module can be specified from your .perlcriticrc file, and
the policy will ignore them.
[Variables::ProhibitPackageVars]
packages = Data::Dumper File::Find FindBin Log::Log4perl
This is the default setting. Using "packages =" will override these defaults.
You can also add packages to the defaults like so:
[Variables::ProhibitPackageVars]
add_packages = My::Package
You can add package "main" to the list of packages, but that will only OK variables explicitly in the "main" package.
