Perl::Critic::Policy::Modules::PerlMinimumVersion - Enforce backward compatible code
This policy is part of the Perl::Critic::More manpage, a bleading edge supplement to the Perl::Critic manpage.
As Perl evolves, new desirable features get added. The best ones seem to break backward compatibility, unfortunately. This policy allows you to specify a mandatory compatibility version for your code.
For example, if you add the following to your .perlcriticrc file:
[Modules::PerlMinimumVersion] version = 5.005
then any code that employs our will fail this policy, for example. By
default, this policy enforces the current Perl version, which is a pretty weak
statement.
This policy relies on the Perl::MinimumVersion manpage to do the heavy lifting. If that module is not installed, then this policy always passes.
