NAME
       Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitVoidGrep - Don't use "grep" in void contexts.

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

DESCRIPTION
       "map" and "grep" are intended to be pure functions, not mutators.  If you want to iterate with side-effects, then you should use a proper
       "for" or "foreach" loop.

	   grep{ print frobulate($_) } @list;		#not ok
	   print map{ frobulate($_) } @list;		#ok

	   grep{ $_ = lc $_ } @list;			#not ok
	   for( @list ){ $_ = lc $_  }; 		#ok

	   map{ push @frobbed, frobulate($_) } @list;	#not ok
	   @frobbed = map { frobulate($_) } @list;	#ok

CONFIGURATION
       This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
