💖 Perl::Critic::PetPeeves::JTRAMMELL 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation (section 3pm for the manpage girlies keeping track), and it's all about a lil module called Perl::Critic::PetPeeves::JTRAMMELL. Yes the title is silly-looking. Yes it's real. Let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Perl::Critic::PetPeeves::JTRAMMELL — it's a whole collection of policies that straight up prohibit or require the author's personal pet peeves. No cap. If something bugs JTRAMMELL specifically, it might be in here. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the module Perl::Critic::PetPeeves::JTRAMMELL hands you policies that the author wanted but that hadn't already been implemented elsewhere. It's giving "fine, I'll do it myself" energy and honestly? Iconic. 💅

As of right now, the roster is exactly this one queen:

👑 Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProhibitUselessInitialization

This policy treats unnecessary initialization as a style violation. Like, if you're assigning a value that was already gonna be there anyway? Ma'am. Why. 😭

Check the receipts:

my $foo = undef;     # assignment not needed
my @bar = ();        # ditto

See how both of those lines are just doing the most for absolutely no reason? That's the vibe this policy is side-eyeing. 🍓

Here's the deal tho: the author gets notified, and then you'll automatically get notified of progress on your bug as changes get made. It's a whole loop. You're in it now. 🔥
