Perl::Critic::Policy::Modules::PerlMinimumVersion(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Perl::Critic::Policy::Modules::PerlMinimumVersion(3) NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::Modules::PerlMinimumVersion - Enforce backward compatible code. AFFILIATION
This policy is part of Perl::Critic::More, a bleeding edge supplement to Perl::Critic. DESCRIPTION
As Perl evolves, new desirable features get added. The best ones seem to break backward compatibility, unfortunately. This policy allows you to specify a mandatory compatibility version for your code. For example, if you add the following to your .perlcriticrc file: [Modules::PerlMinimumVersion] version = 5.005 then any code that employs "our" will fail this policy, for example. By default, this policy enforces the current Perl version, which is a pretty weak statement. This policy relies on Perl::MinimumVersion to do the heavy lifting. If that module is not installed, then this policy always passes. AUTHOR
