Mardem-PerlRefactoringSupport

DESCRIPTION

Perl-Critic Policies for simple and isolated Refactoring-Support.

This Perl-Crictic Policy-Modules should help where to start a safe refactoring in old leagacy Perl code.

The McCabe complexity check within the standard Perl-Critic Module are a good overall starting point see:

• Perl::Critic::Policy::Modules::ProhibitExcessMainComplexity
• Perl::Critic::Policy::Subroutines::ProhibitExcessComplexity

but these are for some bigger scans, so these new policies should check (or begin) in smaller chunks:

1. ProhibitReturnBooleanAsInt - return boolean as int "return 1;"
2. ProhibitConditionComplexity - condition complexity "if/while/for/... (...){}"
3. ProhibitManyConditionsInSub - subs has many conditionals "if, while, for, ..."
4. ProhibitLargeBlock - large code block as statement count "{...}"
5. ProhibitBlockComplexity - code block complexity "{...}"
6. ProhibitLargeSub - large subs as statement count

INSTALLATION

To install this module, run the following commands:

  perl Build.PL
  ./Build
  ./Build test
  ./Build install

SUPPORT AND DOCUMENTATION

Each policy has its own detailed documentation.
