Re: The maybe it is better written this way tool

a few examples that I don't think Perl::Critic or any of its extensions covers
my $x; foreach $x () {}
[download]

I uploaded your 2 lines of code to the free Perl::Critic website, http://perlcritic.com/, and it produces this message:

Loop iterator is not lexical at line 2, column 1.  See page 108 of PBP
+.  Severity: 5
[download]

It even has a link to the verbose explanation of the message, complete with advice on how to re-code it. Therefore, Perl::Critic does indeed detect this coding style.

I know Perl::Critic is configurable, and I would not be surprised to find out that it is also extensible.

Perl::Critic is extendable. To do so you write your own Perl::Critic::Policy module. Perl::Critic::DEVELOPER has documentation on doing so.	[reply]
