criticism Description

Perl pragma to enforce coding standards and best-practices criticism enforces coding standards and promotes best-practices by running your file through Perl::Critic before every execution. In a production system, this usually isn't feasible because it adds a lot of overhead at start-up. If you have a separate development environment, you can effectively bypass the criticism pragma by not installing Perl::Critic in the production environment. If Perl::Critic can't be loaded, then criticism just fails silently.Alternatively, the perlcritic command-line (which is distributed with Perl::Critic) can be used to analyze your files on-demand and has some additional configuration features. And Test::Perl::Critic provides a nice interface for analyzing files during the build process.If you'd like to try Perl::Critic without installing anything, there is a web-service available at http://perlcritic.com. The web-service does not yet support all the configuration features that are available in the native Perl::Critic API, but it should give you a good idea of what it does. You can also invoke the perlcritic web-service from the command line by doing an HTTP-post, such as one of these: $> POST http://perlcritic.com/perl/critic.pl < MyModule.pm $> lwp-request -m POST http://perlcritic.com/perl/critic.pl < MyModule.pm $> wget -q -O - --post-file=MyModule.pm http://perlcritic.com/perl/critic.plPlease note that the perlcritic web-service is still alpha code. The URL and interface to the service are subject to change.SYNOPSIS use criticism; use criticism 'gentle'; use criticism 'stern'; use criticism 'harsh'; use criticism 'cruel'; use criticism 'brutal'; use criticism ( -profile = > '/foo/bar/perlcriticrc' ); use criticism ( -severity = > 3, -verbose = > '%m at %f line %l' ); Requirements: · Perl
