Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::RestrictLongStrings - Stop mixing long strings with code
This policy is part of the Perl::Critic::More manpage, a bleading edge supplement to the Perl::Critic manpage.
Long text strings in the middle of code is very distracting and wreaks havoc
on code formatting. Consider putting long strings in external data files,
__DATA__ sections, or in their own subroutines.
This policy complains if a long string is not the last line of a subroutine.
``Long'' is defined as 78 characters by default. This value can be altered in
your Perl::Critic configuration via the max_length property. For example,
you may add the following to your .perlcriticrc file:
[ValuesAndExpressions::RestrictLongStrings] max_length = 50
