Perl::...SeeAlso(3pm)

💖 Perl::...SeeAlso(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation (the 3pm section, if you were wondering), and it's literally about a Perl::Critic policy. come sit with me, this one's short and sweet 🍓

---

✨ NAME ✨

Perl::Critic::Policy::Documentation::ProhibitDuplicateSeeAlso — basically: don't duplicate L<> links in SEE ALSO. that's it, that's the whole vibe 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this policy is part of the Perl::Critic::Pulp add-on, and what it does is politely ask you — no, lowkey firmly ask you — not to repeat L<Foo> links inside a SEE ALSO section. like, once is enough, babe.

=head1 SEE ALSO

L<Foo::Bar>

L<Foo::Bar>    # bad

the reasoning here? for readability, a given cross-reference should be linked just once, and a duplicate is probably a leftover from going a lil too hard with the cut-and-paste. we've all been there 🫶 this is a minor thing, so the policy is low severity and lives under the "cosmetic" theme (peep "POLICY THEMES" in Perl::Critic).

a module can show up more than once in a SEE ALSO — it just can only be L<> linked once. anything else should be C<> markup or plain text, no cap.

L<Foo::One>, L<Foo::Two>
(C<Foo::Two> runs faster)     # ok

and links pointing to different parts of the same target POD? those are allowed, slay ✨

L<perlfunc/alarm>,
L<perlfunc/kill>     # ok

🙈 Disabling

if you genuinely don't care about this (and honestly, valid), you can always disable ProhibitDuplicateSeeAlso from your .perlcriticrc file in the usual way (check "CONFIGURATION" in Perl::Critic for the deets),
