Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitSleepViaSelect3pm
Use time::hires instead of something like "select(undef, undef, undef, .05)".
Affiliation
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
Overview
Conway discourages the use of select() for performing non-integer sleeps. Although documented in perlfunc, it's something that generally requires the reader to read "perldoc -f select" to figure out what it should be doing. Instead, Conway recommends that you use the "Time::HiRes" module when you want to sleep.
select undef, undef, undef, 0.25; # not okuse Time::HiRes;sleep( 0.25 ); # ok
Configuration
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
