NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::ControlStructures::ProhibitCStyleForLoops

DESCRIPTION

The 3-part for loop that Perl inherits from C is butt-ugly, and only really necessary if you need irregular counting. The very Perlish .. operator is much more elegant and readable.

  for($i=0; $i<=$max; $i++){      #ick!
      do_something($i);
  }

  for(0..$max){                   #very nice
    do_something($_);
  }
