NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::Plicease::ProhibitLeadingZeros - Leading zeroes are okay as the first arg to chmod, and other such reasonableness
VERSION
version 0.06
SYNOPSIS
perlcriticrc:
[Plicease::ProhibitLeadingZeros]
code:
0123; # not ok
1234; # ok
chmod 0700; # ok
mkpath($foo, 0700); # ok
DESCRIPTION
Perl interprets numbers with leading zeros as octal. If that's what you really want, its better to use oct
and make it obvious. However, some operations are well known as using octal such as chmod
and mkpath
so this policy disallows mistakes like this:
my $x = 1231;
my $y = 2345;
my $z = 0032;
But not non-mistakes like this:
chmod 0700, "secret_file.txt";
or this:
use File::Path qw( mkpath );
mkpath("/foo/bar/baz", 1, 0700);
or is this:
use Path::Class qw( dir );
dir()->mkpath(1,0700);
AFFILIATION
None.
CONFIGURATION
This policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
CAVEATS
Because mkpath
is not a built in (as chmod
is), this policy does not differentiate between the mkpath
function provided by File::Path or the mkpath
method provided by Path::Class::Dir and arbitrary mkpath
function or methods that you or someone else might define. Also, there is no way to really check if the object invocant of a mkpath
method is really an instance of Path::Class::Dir.
SEE ALSO
This policy is based largely on the existing in-core policy, and one in the lax bundle, but adds a few exceptions that I find useful.
