NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProtectPrivateVars


DESCRIPTION

By convention Perl authors (like authors in many other languages) indicate private methods and variables by inserting a leading underscore before the identifier. This policy catches attempts to access private variables from outside the package itself.


HISTORY

This policy is inspired by a similar test in the B::Lint manpage


SEE ALSO

the Perl::Critic::Policy::Subroutines::ProtectPrivateSubs manpage
