NAME¶

Perl::Critic::Policy::Subroutines::ProhibitNestedSubs - "sub never { sub correct {} }".

AFFILIATION¶

This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.

DESCRIPTION¶

Attention would-be clever Perl writers (including Younger RJBS):

This does not do what you think:

  sub do_something {
      ...
      sub do_subprocess {
          ...
      }
      ...
  }

"do_subprocess()" is global, despite where it is declared. Either write your subs without nesting or use anonymous code references.

CONFIGURATION¶

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.

NOTE¶

Originally part of Perl::Critic::Tics.
