Perl::Critic::Policy::Subroutines::ProhibitNestedSubs(3pm)

Affiliation

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

Attention would-be clever Perl writers (including Younger RJBS):

This does not do what you think:

  sub do_something {
      ...
      sub do_subprocess {
          ...
      }
      ...
  }

do_subprocess() is global, despite where it is declared. Either write your subs without nesting or use anonymous code references.

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.

Originally part of Perl::Critic::Tics.
