Perl::Critic::Policy::ControlStructures::ProhibitUntilBlocks(3)
NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::ControlStructures::ProhibitUntilBlocks - Write
"while(! $condition)" instead of "until($condition)".
AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
DESCRIPTION
Conway discourages using "until" because it leads to double-negatives
that are hard to understand. Instead, reverse the logic and use
"while".
until($condition) { do_something() } #not ok
until(! $no_flag) { do_something() } #really bad
while( ! $condition) { do_something() } #ok
This Policy only covers the block-form of "until". For the postfix
variety, see "ProhibitPostfixControls".
CONFIGURATION
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
