in reply to Passing a hash plus some strings to a subroutine

It depends on ...

update

but yeah, the real problem here is perlcritic enforcing old PBP rules here.

Not sure how it handles newer mechanisms.

    Is there another tool which would be more appropriate to run?

      Sorry, I'm the wrong one to ask about Perl::Critic - I don't use it.

      I know that many companies expand/restrict the rule sets to their liking in order to have coherent internal style.

      And PBP itself described its rules only as suggestions, IIRC.

      Anyway, what Fletch showed you is the standard vanilla approach which will always work.

      perlcritic is fully configurable. If you disagree with a policy, you can turn it off.

      See also Perl::Critic::Community for a revised and modernised set of perlcritic rules, created mostly by the IRC subset of the Perl community.

      map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]
