💖 NAME 💖

Perl::Critic::Policy::CodeLayout::RequireUseUTF8 — bestie, this policy is here to make sure every single module has a use utf8; statement. no exceptions, no skipping, periodt. ✨

🦋 AFFILIATION 🦋

This policy is part of Perl::Critic::Swift. she's in the family, she belongs. 💅

🌸 VERSION 🌸

This document describes Perl::Critic::Policy::CodeLayout::RequireUseUTF8 version 1.0.3. that's the one, that's the girl. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Require that all modules have a use utf8; statement.

like... that's it. that's the whole assignment. 😌

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here's the tea, bestie ☕ — Perl parsers need to be told if they're gonna be dealing with anything that isn't ASCII or Latin-1. they don't just know. they're not psychic, they're parsers. This policy makes sure they get notified that the code may contain Unicode characters. 🦋

And the English speakers? they need to be brought into the 21st century and note that not every character fits into 7 bits. i said what i said. 💀 the 7-bit era is over, we've moved on, we're thriving. 🌈

💅 INTERFACE 💅

Standard for a Perl::Critic::Policy. nothing spicy, nothing extra, just the usual vibe check. ✨

🔥 DIAGNOSTICS 🔥

None. zero. nada. no notes. 🫶

🌈 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT 🌈

This policy has no configuration options beyond the standard ones. that's it, that's the whole menu. 🙈

🍓 DEPENDENCIES 🍓

  • Perl::Critic — yeah, she needs her. ride or die. 💜

🧚 INCOMPATIBILITIES 🧚

None reported. no drama detected. we love a peaceful queen. ✨

💀 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS 💀

No bugs have been reported. (iconic behaviour, honestly.)

But listen — if you do find something, please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-perl-critic-swift@rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at <http://rt.cpan.org>. bestie, tell them. they want to know. 📬
