NAME
Perl::Critic::PolicySummary - Descriptions of the Policy modules included with Perl::Critic itself.
DESCRIPTION
The following Policy modules are distributed with Perl::Critic. (There are additional Policies that can be found in add-on distributions.) The Policy modules have been categorized according to the table of contents in Damian Conway's book Perl Best Practices. Since most coding standards take the form "do this..." or "don't do that...", I have adopted the convention of naming each module RequireSomething
or ProhibitSomething
. Each Policy is listed here with its default severity. If you don't agree with the default severity, you can change it in your .perlcriticrc file. See the documentation of each module for its specific details.

VERSION
This is part of Perl::Critic version 1.083_004.
