NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::RequireInterpolationOfMetachars

DESCRIPTION

This policy warns you if you use single-quotes or q// with a string that has unescaped metacharacters that may need interpoation. 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 metachars and sigils which usually indicate that the string should be interpolated.

NOTES

Perl's own warnings pragma also warns you about this.
