NAME

       Perl::Critic::Policy::CodeLayout::RequireASCII - Disallow high-bit characters.

AFFILIATION

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

DESCRIPTION

       ASCII is a text encoding first introduced in 1963.  It represents 128 characters in seven-bit bytes, reserving the eighth bit for error
       detection.  Perl supports a large number of encodings.  However, if you really want the ultimate in backward compatibility, ASCII is it!
       (We won't even talk about EBCDIC and the like...)

       This policy is not recommended for everyone.  Instead, most of you should probably strive for one of the Unicode encodings for maximum
       forward compatibility.
