perl::critic::policy::builtinfunctions::prohibituniversalcan(3pm) [debian man page]

Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitUniversaUser(Contributed Perl DocPerl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitUniversalCan(3pm)

NAME

       Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitUniversalCan - Write "eval { $foo->can($name) }" instead of "UNIVERSAL::can($foo, $name)".

AFFILIATION

       This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.

DESCRIPTION

	   print UNIVERSAL::can($obj, 'Foo::Bar') ? 'yes' : 'no';  #not ok
	   print eval { $obj->can('Foo::Bar') } ? 'yes' : 'no';    #ok

       As of Perl 5.9.3, the use of UNIVERSAL::can as a function has been deprecated and the method form is preferred instead.	Formerly, the
       functional form was recommended because it gave valid results even when the object was "undef" or an unblessed scalar.  However, the
       functional form makes it impossible for packages to override "can()", a technique which is crucial for implementing mock objects and some
       facades.

       See UNIVERSAL::can for a more thorough discussion of this topic.

CONFIGURATION

       This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.

NAME

       Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::RequireBlockGrep - Write "grep { $_ =~ /$pattern/ } @list" instead of "grep /$pattern/, @list".

AFFILIATION

       This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.

DESCRIPTION

       The expression forms of "grep" and "map" are awkward and hard to read.  Use the block forms instead.

	   @matches = grep  /pattern/,	  @list;	#not ok
	   @matches = grep { /pattern/ }  @list;	#ok

	   @mapped = map  transform($_),    @list;	#not ok
	   @mapped = map { transform($_) }  @list;	#ok

CONFIGURATION

       This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
