NAME

       Perl::Critic::Theme - Construct thematic sets of policies.

DESCRIPTION

       This is a helper class for evaluating theme expressions into sets of Policy objects.  There are no user-serviceable parts here.

INTERFACE SUPPORT

       This is considered to be a non-public class.  Its interface is subject to change without notice.

METHODS

       "new( -rule => $rule_expression )"
	   Returns a reference to a new Perl::Critic::Theme object.  "-rule" is a string expression that evaluates to true or false for each
	   Policy..  See "THEME RULES" for more information.

       "policy_is_thematic( -policy => $policy )"
	   Given a reference to a Perl::Critic::Policy object, this method returns evaluates the rule against the themes that are associated with
	   the Policy.	Returns 1 if the Policy satisfies the rule, 0 otherwise.

       " rule() "
	   Returns the rule expression that was used to construct this Theme.  The rule may have been translated into a normalized expression.
	   See "THEME RULES" for more information.

   THEME RULES
       A theme rule is a simple boolean expression, where the operands are the names of any of the themes associated with the
       Perl::Critic::Polices.

       Theme names can be combined with logical operators to form arbitrarily complex expressions.  Precedence is the same as normal mathematics,
       but you can use parentheses to enforce precedence as well.  Supported operators are:

	  Operator    Altertative    Example
	  ----------------------------------------------------------------
	  &&	      and	     'pbp && core'
	  ||	      or	     'pbp || (bugs && security)'
	  !	      not	     'pbp && ! (portability || complexity)

       See "CONFIGURATION" in Perl::Critic for more information about customizing the themes for each Policy.

SUBROUTINES

       "cook_rule( $rule )"
	   Standardize a rule into a almost executable Perl code.  The "almost" comes from the fact that theme names are left as is.

CONSTANTS

       $RULE_INVALID_CHARACTER_REGEX
	   A regular expression that will return the first character in the matched expression that is not valid in a rule.

NAME

       Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProhibitLocalVars - Use "my" instead of "local", except when you have to.

AFFILIATION

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

DESCRIPTION

       Since Perl 5, there are very few reasons to declare "local" variables.  The most common exceptions are Perl's magical global variables.	If
       you do need to modify one of those global variables, you should localize it first.  You should also use the English module to give those
       variables more meaningful names.

	   local $foo;	 #not ok
	   my $foo;	 #ok

	   use English qw(-no_match_vars);
	   local $INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR    #ok
	   local $RS			    #ok
	   local $/;			    #not ok

CONFIGURATION

       This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.

NOTES

       If an external module uses package variables as its interface, then using "local" is actually a pretty sensible thing to do.  So
       Perl::Critic will not complain if you "local"-ize variables with a fully qualified name such as $Some::Package::foo.  However, if you're in
       a position to dictate the module's interface, I strongly suggest using accessor methods instead.
