Perl::Critic::Policy::Documentation::RequirePodAtEnd(3pmUser Contributed Perl DocumentatiPerl::Critic::Policy::Documentation::RequirePodAtEnd(3pm)

NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::Documentation::RequirePodAtEnd - All POD should be after "__END__". AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution. DESCRIPTION
Perl stops processing code when it sees an "__END__" statement. So, to save processing time, it's faster to put documentation after the "__END__". Also, writing all the POD in one place usually leads to a more cohesive document, rather than being forced to follow the layout of your code. This policy issues violations if any POD is found before an "__END__". CONFIGURATION
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options. NOTES
Some folks like to use "=for", and "=begin", and "=end" tags to create block comments in-line with their code. Since those tags aren't usually part of the documentation, this Policy does allows them to appear before the "__END__" statement. =begin comments frobulate() Accepts: A list of things to frobulate Returns: True if successful =end comments sub frobulate { ... } AUTHOR
