Perl::Critic::Policy::Miscellanea::ProhibitFormats(3)
NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::Miscellanea::ProhibitFormats - Do not use
"format".
AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
DESCRIPTION
Formats are one of the oldest features of Perl. Unfortunately, they
suffer from several limitations. Formats are static and cannot be
easily defined at run time. Also, formats depend on several obscure
global variables.
For more modern reporting tools, consider using one of the template
frameworks like Template or try the Perl6::Form module.
CONFIGURATION
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
