Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitImplicitNewlines
Strings with embedded line breaks are hard to read. Use concatenation or HEREDOCs instead.
my $foo = "Line one is quite long Line two"; # Bad my $foo = "Line one is quite long\nLine two"; # Better, but still hard to read my $foo = "Line one is quite long\n" . "Line two"; # Better still my $foo = <<'EOF'; # Use heredoc for longer passages Line one is quite long Line two Line three breaks the camel's back EOF
