NAME

       Perl::Critic::Policy::ControlStructures::ProhibitLabelsWithSpecialBlockNames - Don't use labels that are the same as the special block
       names.

AFFILIATION

       This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.

DESCRIPTION

       When using one of the special Perl blocks "BEGIN", "END", "CHECK", "INIT", and "UNITCHECK", it is easy to mistakenly add a colon to the end
       of the block name.  E.g.:

	   # a BEGIN block that gets executed at compile time.
	   BEGIN { <...code...> }

	   # an ordinary labeled block that gets executed at run time.
	   BEGIN: { <...code...> }

       The labels "BEGIN:", "END:", etc. are probably errors.  This policy prohibits the special Perl block names from being used as labels.

CONFIGURATION

       This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.

NAME

       Perl::Critic::Policy::ControlStructures::ProhibitUntilBlocks - Write "while(! $condition)" instead of "until($condition)".

AFFILIATION

       This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.

DESCRIPTION

       Conway discourages using "until" because it leads to double-negatives that are hard to understand.  Instead, reverse the logic and use
       "while".

	   until($condition)	 { do_something() } #not ok
	   until(! $no_flag)	 { do_something() } #really bad
	   while( ! $condition)  { do_something() } #ok

       This Policy only covers the block-form of "until".  For the postfix variety, see "ProhibitPostfixControls".

CONFIGURATION

       This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
