Perl::Critic::Policy::ControlStructures::ProhibitCStyleFUseroContributed Perl Perl::Critic::Policy::ControlStructures::ProhibitCStyleForLoops(3pm)

NAME
       Perl::Critic::Policy::ControlStructures::ProhibitCStyleForLoops - Write "for(0..20)" instead of "for($i=0; $i<=20; $i++)".

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

DESCRIPTION
       The 3-part "for" loop that Perl inherits from C is butt-ugly, and only really necessary if you need irregular counting.	The very Perlish
       ".." operator is much more elegant and readable.

	   for($i=0; $i<=$max; $i++){	   #ick!
	       do_something($i);
	   }

	   for(0..$max){		   #very nice
	       do_something($_);
	   }

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