Perl::Critic::Policy::UserPerl::Critic::Policy::Modules::PerlMinimumVersion(3)NAMEPerl::Critic::Policy::Modules::PerlMinimumVersion - Enforce backward
compatible code.
AFFILIATION
This policy is part of Perl::Critic::More, a bleeding edge supplement
to Perl::Critic.
DESCRIPTION
As Perl evolves, new desirable features get added. The best ones seem
to break backward compatibility, unfortunately. This policy allows you
to specify a mandatory compatibility version for your code.
For example, if you add the following to your .perlcriticrc file:
[Modules::PerlMinimumVersion]
version = 5.005
then any code that employs "our" will fail this policy, for example.
By default, this policy enforces the current Perl version, which is a
pretty weak statement.
This policy relies on Perl::MinimumVersion to do the heavy lifting. If
that module is not installed, then this policy always passes.
