NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::NamingConventions::ProhibitMixedCaseSubs - Write sub my_function{} instead of sub MyFunction{}.

AFFILIATION

This Policy is part of the Perl::Critic::Deprecated distribution.

DESCRIPTION

Conway's recommended naming convention is to use lower-case words separated by underscores. Well-recognized acronyms can be in ALL CAPS, but must be separated by underscores from other parts of the name.

    sub foo_bar{}   #ok
    sub foo_BAR{}   #ok
    sub FOO_bar{}   #ok
    sub FOO_BAR{}   #ok

    sub Some::Class::foo{}   #ok, grudgingly

    sub FooBar {}   #not ok
    sub FOObar {}   #not ok
    sub fooBAR {}   #not ok
    sub fooBar {}   #not ok

CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
