💖 Perl::...edSubs(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for Perl::Critic::Policy::Subroutines::ProhibitExportingUndeclaredSubs, served up in User Contributed Perl Documentation energy. yes the title's abbreviated like that because the real name is a whole paragraph, we don't make the rules. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

Perl::Critic::Policy::Subroutines::ProhibitExportingUndeclaredSubs — that's the whole government name, no nicknames, no shortening, we said it with our chest 💅

---

🌸 AFFILIATION 🌸

This policy is part of Perl::Critic::StricterSubs. so like, it's not a lone wolf, it runs with its little friend group 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe check: this Policy goes through everything you listed in @EXPORT or @EXPORT_OK and makes sure each one of those subs is actually defined in the current file.

like… if you're out here promising the world that you're exporting frobnicate, bestie, frobnicate needs to exist. no ghost subs. no imaginary friends in your export list. it's giving "manifesting" but for code, and Perl::Critic is not about that life 😭

if it's in your export list but not in your file, this policy will absolutely notice. periodt. 🔥
