NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusualDelimiters - Use only "//" or "{}" to delimit regexps.
AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
DESCRIPTION
Perl lets you delimit regular expressions with almost any character, but most choices are illegible. Compare these equivalent expressions: s/foo/bar/; # good s{foo}{bar}; # good s#foo#bar#; # bad s;foo;bar;; # worse s||||||; # eye-gouging bad
CONFIGURATION
There is one option for this policy, "allow_all_brackets". If this is true, then, in addition to allowing "//" and "{}", the other matched pairs of "()", "[]", and "<>" are allowed.
CREDITS
Initial development of this policy was supported by a grant from the Perl Foundation.
