Perl::Critic::Policy::Subroutines::ProhibitBuiltinHomonyms
Common sense dictates that you shouldn't declare subroutines with the
same name as one of Perl's built-in functions. See `perldoc
perlfunc`
for a list of built-ins.
sub open {} #not ok sub exit {} #not ok sub print {} #not ok
#You get the idea...
Exceptions are made for BEGIN
, END
, INIT
and CHECK
blocks,
as well as AUTOLOAD
, DESTROY
, and import
subroutines.
It is reasonable to declare an object method with the same name as a Perl built-in function, since they are easily distinguished from each other. However, at this time, Perl::Critic cannot tell whether a subroutine is static or an object method.
