NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProhibitConditionalDeclarations

DESCRIPTION

Declaring a variable with a postfix conditional is really confusing. If the conditional is false, its not clear if the variable will be false, undefined, undeclared, or what. It's much more straightforward to make variable declarations separately.
   my $foo = $baz if $bar;          #not ok
   my $foo = $baz unless $bar;      #not ok
   our $foo = $baz for @list;       #not ok
   local $foo = $baz foreach @list; #not ok
