Perl::...ackages(3pm)

bestie, welcome to a 3pm page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation — the one and only Perl::...ackages(3pm). This is all about Perl::Critic::Policy::Modules::ProhibitMultiplePackages, and it’s giving “put your packages in separate files” energy. periodt. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Perl::Critic::Policy::Modules::ProhibitMultiplePackages — Put packages (especially subclasses) in separate files. 💅

🌈 AFFILIATION 🌈

This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution — it’s built in, not some random add-on. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Conway doesn't specifically mention this, but lowkey the author finds it annoying when there are multiple packages in the same file. 😭 When you're searching for methods or keywords in your editor, it makes it hard to find the right chunk of code — especially if each package is a subclass of the same base. fr fr, it’s giving “where is that method hiding” chaos. 🫠

🎀 CONFIGURATION 🎀

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options. That’s it, bestie — no secret knobs, no extra flags. standard options only. 🫶
