Again, Thank You.

You're welcome.

Perl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::ProhibitReadlineInForUser(Contributed Perl DocPerl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::ProhibitReadlineInForLoop(3pm)
NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::ProhibitReadlineInForLoop - Write "while( $line = <> ){...}" instead of "for(<>){...}".
AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
DESCRIPTION
Using the readline operator in a "for" or "foreach" loop is very slow. The iteration list of the loop creates a list context, which causes
the readline operator to read the entire input stream before iteration even starts. Instead, just use a "while" loop, which only reads one
line at a time.
for my $line ( <$file_handle> ){ do_something($line) } #not ok
while ( my $line = <$file_handle> ){ do_something($line) } #ok
CONFIGURATION
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
