Perl::...espace(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is the Perl::...espace(3pm) page from User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's here to talk about Perl::Critic::Policy::CodeLayout::ProhibitTrailingWhitespace.

• Perl::Critic::Policy::CodeLayout::ProhibitTrailingWhitespace — don't use whitespace at the end of lines. periodt 💅

---

✨ AFFILIATION ✨

This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution. she's core, bestie 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Anything that is not readily visually detectable is a bad thing in general. fr fr, if your eyeballs can't spot it easily, that's lowkey a red flag.

And more specifically: as different people edit the same code, their editors may automatically strip out trailing whitespace, causing spurious differences between different versions of the same file (i.e. code in a source control system). the way that creates fake-looking diffs is so not slay 😭

---

🎀 CONFIGURATION 🎀

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options. no extra knobs, no secret menu, just the standard options and that's it 🫶
