Perl-Critic 0.15_01

on Perl CPAN

[Enhancements]

• Added diagnostic messages if the .perlcriticrc contains entries
  for Policy modules that don't seem to exist.
  
• Now you can specify which policies to disable with the
  "## no critic" pseudo-pragmas. This feature is still
  experimental. See docs for details.
  
• perlcritic's directory searching now skips backup files, such
  as *.swp, *.bak and *~. It also ignores version control system
  directories, and the blib directory in module build directories.
  

[Bug Fixes]

• 18386: Bad example in POD for Documentation::RequirePodSections
  
• 18670: Test failure if Perl::Tidy is not installed
  
• 18698: Policy idea ProhibitUniversalFunctions (see New Policies)
  
• RequireInterpolationOfMetachars falsely hit strings like 'foo=s@'
  which are commonly used with Getopt::Long.
  

[New Policies]

• BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitUniversalCan (by Chris Dolan)
  
• BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitUniversalIsa (by Chris Dolan)
  

[Miscellanea]

• All spurrious options for perlcritic are now fatal.
  
• Changed several of the -verbose formats to be more readable.
  
• Explicit -severity option now overrides -[12345] shortcuts instead
  of being the other way around.
