=head1 NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusualDelimiters - Use only C<//> or C<{}> to delimit regexps.
=head1 AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core L<Perl::Critic|Perl::Critic>
distribution.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Perl lets you delimit regular expressions with almost any character,
but most choices are illegible. Compare these equivalent expressions:
s/foo/bar/; # good
s{foo}{bar}; # good
s#foo#bar#; # bad
s;foo;bar;; # worse
s|\|\||\||; # eye-gouging bad
=head1 CONFIGURATION
There is one option for this policy, C<allow_all_brackets>. If this
is true, then, in addition to allowing C<//> and C<{}>, the other
matched pairs of C<()>, C<[]>, and C<< <> >> are allowed.
=head1 CREDITS
Initial development of this policy was supported by a grant from the
Perl Foundation.
