Perl::...ateVars(3pm)

okay bestie, welcome to the User Contributed Perl Documentation page for Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProtectPrivateVars(3pm) 💅✨ This one is short but iconic.

🌸 NAME 🌸

Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProtectPrivateVars — prevent access to private vars in other packages. No cap. 🚫👀

🎀 AFFILIATION 🎀

This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution. She's in the core squad, bestie. 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: by convention, Perl authors (like authors in many other languages) indicate private methods and variables by inserting a leading underscore before the identifier. _like_this, iykyk. This policy catches attempts to access private variables from outside the package itself. That's the whole main character move. ✨

🍓 CONFIGURATION 🍓

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options. That's it. No extra knobs, no secret menu. 💅

🌈 HISTORY 🌈

This policy is inspired by a similar test in B::Lint. Cute lore, fr fr. 🧚
