NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusualDelimiters


DESCRIPTION

Perl lets you delimit regular expressions with almost any character, but most choices are illegible. Compare these equivalent expressions:

  s/foo/bar/;   # good
  s{foo}{bar};  # good
  s#foo#bar#;   # bad
  s;foo;bar;;   # worse
  s|\|\||\||;   # eye-gouging bad


CREDITS

Initial development of this policy was supported by a grant from the Perl Foundation.
