NAME
       Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProhibitMatchVars - Avoid "$`", "$&", "$'" and their English equivalents.

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

DESCRIPTION
       Using the "match variables" "$`", $&, and/or "$'" can significantly degrade the performance of a program.  This policy forbids using them
       or their English equivalents.  See perldoc English or PBP page 82 for more information.

       It used to forbid plain "use English;" because it ends up causing the performance side-effects of the match variables.  However, the
       message emitted for that situation was not at all clear and there is now Perl::Critic::Policy::Modules::RequireNoMatchVarsWithUseEnglish,
       which addresses this situation directly.

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