NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::Documentation::RequirePodAtEnd - All POD should be after __END__.

AFFILIATION

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

DESCRIPTION

Perl stops processing code when it sees an __END__ statement. So, to save processing time, it's faster to put documentation after the __END__. Also, writing all the POD in one place usually leads to a more cohesive document, rather than being forced to follow the layout of your code. This policy issues violations if any POD is found before an __END__.

CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.

NOTES

Some folks like to use =for, and =begin, and =end tags to create block comments in-line with their code. Since those tags aren't usually part of the documentation, this Policy does allows them to appear before the __END__ statement.

=begin comments

frobulate()
Accepts:  A list of things to frobulate
Returns:  True if successful

=end comments

sub frobulate { ... }
