Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProhibitConditionalDeclarations
Declaring a variable with a postfix conditional is really confusing. If the conditional is false, its not clear if the variable will be false, undefined, undeclared, or what. It's much more straightforward to make variable declarations separately.
my $foo = $baz if $bar; #not ok my $foo = $baz unless $bar; #not ok our $foo = $baz for @list; #not ok local $foo = $baz foreach @list; #not ok
