NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProtectPrivateVars - Prevent access to private vars in other packages.

AFFILIATION

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

DESCRIPTION

By convention Perl authors (like authors in many other languages) indicate private methods and variables by inserting a leading underscore before the identifier. This policy catches attempts to access private variables from outside the package itself.

CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.

HISTORY

This policy is inspired by a similar test in B::Lint
