Perl::Critic::Community(3pm)

Usage

  $ perlcritic --theme community script.pl
  $ perlcritic --theme community lib/
  
  # .perlcriticrc
  theme = community
  severity = 1

Overview

A set of Perl::Critic policies to enforce the practices generally recommended by subsets of the Perl community, particularly on IRC. Formerly known as Perl::Critic::Freenode. Because this policy "theme" is designed to be used with zero configuration on the command line, some duplication will occur if it is used in combination with core Perl::Critic policies.

Affiliation

This module has no functionality, but instead contains documentation for this distribution and acts as a means of pulling other modules into a bundle. All of the Policy modules contained herein will have an "AFFILIATION" section announcing their participation in this grouping.
