NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::RestrictLongStrings - Stop mixing long strings with code. AFFILIATION
This policy is part of Perl::Critic::More, a bleeding edge supplement to Perl::Critic. DESCRIPTION
Long text strings in the middle of code is very distracting and wreaks havoc on code formatting. Consider putting long strings in external data files, "__DATA__" sections, or in their own subroutines. This policy complains if a long string is not the last line of a subroutine. "Long" is defined as 78 characters by default. This value can be altered in your Perl::Critic configuration via the "max_length" property. For example, you may add the following to your .perlcriticrc file: [ValuesAndExpressions::RestrictLongStrings] max_length = 50 SEE ALSO

NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::RequireUpperCaseHeredocTerminator - Write " <<'THE_END'; " instead of " <<'theEnd'; ". AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution. DESCRIPTION
For legibility, HEREDOC terminators should be all UPPER CASE letters (and numbers), without any whitespace. Conway also recommends using a standard prefix like "END_" but this policy doesn't enforce that. print <<'the End'; #not ok Hello World the End print <<'THE_END'; #ok Hello World THE_END CONFIGURATION
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options. SEE ALSO

Perl: varible-sized arrays?

How do you store strings in a variable-sized array? Background: I wrote a program earlier today to work with a very large text file.
