Sommaire

NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusualDelimiters - Use only "//" or "{}" to delimit regexps.

AFFILIATION

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

DESCRIPTION

Perl lets you delimit regular expressions with almost any character, but most choices are illegible. Compare these equivalent expressions: 
   s/foo/bar/;   # good
   s{foo}{bar};  # good
   s#foo#bar#;   # bad
   s;foo;bar;;   # worse
   s|\|\||\||;   # eye-gouging bad

CONFIGURATION

There is one option for this policy, "allow_all_brackets". If this is true, then, in addition to allowing "//" and "{}", the other matched pairs of "()", "[]", and "<>" are allowed.

CREDITS

Initial development of this policy was supported by a grant from the Perl Foundation.
