Perl::...totypes(3pm)

💅 NAME 💅

okay bestie, you're reading Perl::...totypes(3pm) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and this policy is Perl::Critic::Policy::Subroutines::ProhibitSubroutinePrototypes — don't write sub my_function (@@) {}. That's the assignment. ✨

🫶 AFFILIATION 🫶

This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution. So it's not a random side quest — it ships with the main character. 👑

😭 DESCRIPTION 😭

Okay so real talk: contrary to common belief, subroutine prototypes do not enable compile-time checks for proper arguments. Like, they are not giving what people think they're giving. 💀

So don't use them. Periodt. 🚫

🎀 CONFIGURATION 🎀

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options. No secret knobs, no extra settings, no custom slay — just the standard options and that's it. 💅
