NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::Moose::ProhibitDESTROYMethod - Use DEMOLISH instead of DESTROY

VERSION

version 1.05

DESCRIPTION

Getting the order of destructor execution correct with inheritance involved is difficult. Let Moose take care of it for you by putting your cleanup code into a DEMOLISH() method instead of a DESTROY() method.

# ok
package Foo;

use Moose::Role;

sub DEMOLISH {
    ...
}

# not ok
package Foo;

use Moose::Role;

sub DESTROY {
    ...
}

AFFILIATION

This policy is part of Perl::Critic::Moose.

CONFIGURATION

There is a single option, equivalent_modules. This allows you to specify modules that should be treated the same as Moose and Moose::Role, if, say, you were doing something with Moose::Exporter. For example, if you were to have this in your .perlcriticrc file:

[Moose::ProhibitDESTROYMethod]
equivalent_modules = MyCompany::Moose MooseX::NewThing

then the following code would result in a violation:

package Baz;

use MyCompany::Moose;

sub DESTROY {
    ...
}
