NAME

Perl::ToPerl6::TransformerSummary - Descriptions of the Transformer modules included with Perl::ToPerl6 itself.

DESCRIPTION

The following Transformer modules are distributed with Perl::ToPerl6. (There are additional Policies that can be found in add-on distributions.) The Transformer 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 Transformer is listed here with its default severity. If you don't agree with the default severity, you can change it in your .perlmogrifyrc file (try perlmogrify --profile-proto for a starting version). See the documentation of each module for its specific details.
