NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::Compatibility::TestMoreLikeModifiers - don't use regexp modifiers with like() tests

DESCRIPTION

This policy is part of the Perl::Critic::Pulp addon. It warns about regexp modifiers like /i and /m passed to like tests with Test::More, because such modifiers don't end up propagated to the test until Perl 5.10. For example,

    use Test::More tests => 1;
    like ('My String', qr/str/i);     # bad
    like ("abc\ndef\n", '/^abc$/m');  # bad

If you've got an explicit use 5.010 or similar then you'll only be running and this check is not applied.

As always if you don't care about __END__ you can always disable TestMoreLikeModifiers from your .perlcriticrc in the usual way,

    [-Compatibility::TestMoreLikeModifiers]
