NAME

Perl::Review::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitInterpolationOfLiterals

DESCRIPTION

Don't use double-quotes or qq// if your string doesn't require interpolation. This saves the interpreter a bit of work and it lets the reader know that you really did intend the string to be literal.

  print "foobar";     #not ok
  print 'foobar';     #ok
  print qq/foobar/;   #not ok
  print q/foobar/;    #ok

  print "$foobar";    #ok
  print "foobar\n";   #ok
  print qq/$foobar/;  #ok
  print qq/foobar\n/; #ok
