Perl::CriticPerl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::RestrictLongStrings(3)NAMEPerl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::RestrictLongStrings - Stop
mixing long strings with code.
AFFILIATION
This policy is part of Perl::Critic::More, a bleeding edge supplement
to Perl::Critic.
DESCRIPTION
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
