NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProhibitConditionalDeclarations


DESCRIPTION

Declaring a variable with a postfix conditional is really confusing. If the conditional is false, its not clear if the variable will be false, undefined, undeclared, or what. It's much more straightforward to make variable declarations separately.

  my $foo = $baz if $bar;          #not ok
  my $foo = $baz unless $bar;      #not ok
  our $foo = $baz for @list;       #not ok
  local $foo = $baz foreach @list; #not ok
