in thread $1 not "freezing" in an addition

Doesn't stop perlcritic from doing the descending, or running B::Xref

How is P::C to descend into code that's not loaded until runtime?

descending into XS is not insurmountable either

How is P::C to descend into compiled code that's not loaded until runtime and for which the source code is not available?

IMHO it seems like a very safe low level warning for every $global ... func to be turned into "$global" ... func , esp for $1

How do you know you've caught every global? How do you know stringification is desirable?

    It could, wait for it, load the code

    do the scandeps dance

    not do anything at all

    Who said P::C is supposed to do it ?

    Clearly stringification of $1 is undesireable -- I am humbled by your logic

      If your answer to "How is Perl::Critic to do this thing?" is "Magic", then I'd very much like to see your implementation.

      Clearly stringification of $1 is undesireable...

      Giving the wrong answer sometimes is undesirable. Giving the wrong warning doubly so.

        Gee, if only perlcritic had some way to differentiate levels of warnings ... no, it must always be 100% perfect

        Hei chromatic,

        apply some magic and better ignore this anonymous troll! =)

        cheers Rolf
