NAME¶
Perl::Critic::Freenode - Perl::Critic policies inspired by #perl on freenode IRC
SYNOPSIS¶
$ perlcritic --theme freenode script.pl
$ perlcritic --theme freenode lib/
# .perlcriticrc
theme = freenode
severity = 1
DESCRIPTION¶
A set of Perl::Critic policies to enforce the practices generally recommended by
the denizens of #perl on Freenode IRC <https://freenode.net/>. 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.
