Perl::Critic::Bangs(3)

NAME
Perl::Critic::Bangs - A collection of handy Perl::Critic policies

VERSION
Version 1.14

SYNOPSIS
Perl::Critic::Bangs is a collection of Perl::Critic policies that will help make your code better.

DESCRIPTION
The rules included with the Perl::Critic::Bangs group include:

  Perl::Critic::Policy::Bangs::ProhibitBitwiseOperators
Bitwise operators are usually accidentally used instead of logical boolean operators.

  Perl::Critic::Policy::Bangs::ProhibitCommentedOutCode
Commented-out code is usually noise. It should be removed.

  Perl::Critic::Policy::Bangs::ProhibitFlagComments
Watch for comments like "XXX", "TODO", etc.

  Perl::Critic::Policy::Bangs::ProhibitNoPlan
Tests should have a plan.

  Perl::Critic::Policy::Bangs::ProhibitNumberedNames
Subroutines and variables like $user and $user2 are insufficiently distinguished.

  Perl::Critic::Policy::Bangs::ProhibitRefProtoOrProto
Determining the class in a constructor by using "ref($proto) || $proto" is usually a cut-n-paste that is incorrect.

  Perl::Critic::Policy::Bangs::ProhibitUselessRegexModifiers
Adding modifiers to a regular expression made up entirely of a variable created with qr() is usually not doing what you expect.

  Perl::Critic::Policy::Bangs::ProhibitVagueNames
Vague variables and subroutines like $data or $info are not descriptive enough.

WHY IS IT CALLED Perl::Critic::Bangs?
I didn't want to call it "Perl::Critic::Lester" or "Perl::Critic::Petdance" since that would make it sound like they were only my rules. Other people will likely include their own set of rules, too.

So I started thinking of names of famous critics. Ebert, Siskel, Kael, etc. What about music critics? Greil Marcus, J.D. Considine... Lester Bangs! He's even got my name in his! So there was the name.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lester_Bangs for more on Lester Bangs.
