Re^2: Identify Unused and Uninitialised variables. (perlcritic)

I can not reproduce your perlcritic output. Here is what I get (running on v5.8.8 built for x86_64-linux):

$ cat foo.pl
use strict;
use warnings;

my ($unused, $i, $j);
$i = $j; # uninitialized
__END__
$ perlcritic -3 foo.pl
Code not contained in explicit package at line 1, column 1.  Violates 
+encapsulation.  (Severity: 4)
Module does not end with "1;" at line 5, column 1.  Must end with a re
+cognizable true value.  (Severity: 4)
$ perlcritic -Version
1.080

[download]

What version of perlcritic do you have? Perhaps mine is too old (1 year old), and I need to upgrade.

Do you have a .perlcritic file? Maybe that has some tool configuration settings that I need to use. Now that you have shown me this cool capability, I really want to use it. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm using `$ perlcritic --version 1.090` [download] Do you see the warning if you use `perlcritic -2` instead? Update the module, you are most likely 6 months behind. See the Changes file: 1.088 Released on 2008-07-04 * Due to the consensus at YAPC::NA 2008, Variables::ProhibitUnusedVariables default severity has been raised to medium/3. -- No matter how great and destructive your problems may seem now, remember, you've probably only seen the tip of them.

Do you see the warning if you use perlcritic -2 instead? No. I tried this with all severity settings (1 .. 5). Thanks for giving me something to look for in the Changes file. Chances are this issue will be fixed if I upgrade. It's easy to get out of date with this module: 10 updates in the last year (10!).	[reply]
