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 succesful
=end comments
sub frobulate { ... }
