Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::RequireInterpolationOfMetachars - Warns that you might have used single quotes when you really wanted double-quotes.
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
This policy warns you if you use single-quotes or q// with a string that has unescaped metacharacters that may need interpolation. Its hard to know for sure if a string really should be interpolated without looking into the symbol table. This policy just makes an educated guess by looking for metacharacters and sigils which usually indicate that the string should be interpolated.
q//
${} and @{} in a use overload:
${}
@{}
use overload
use overload '${}' => \&deref, # ok '@{}' => \&arrayize; # ok
Variable names to use vars:
use vars
use vars '$x'; # ok use vars ('$y', '$z'); # ok use vars qw< $a $b >; # ok
Things that look like e-mail addresses:
print 'john@foo.com'; # ok $address = 'suzy.bar@baz.net'; # ok
The rcs_keywords option allows you to stop this policy from complaining about things that look like RCS variables, for example, in deriving values for $VERSION variables.
rcs_keywords
$VERSION
For example, if you've got code like
our ($VERSION) = (q<$Revision: 3843 $> =~ m/(\d+)/mx);
You can specify
[ValuesAndExpressions::RequireInterpolationOfMetachars] rcs_keywords = Revision
in your .perlcriticrc to provide an exemption.
Perl's own warnings pragma also warns you about this.
