Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitVoidMap - Don't use map in void contexts.
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
map and grep are intended to be pure functions, not mutators.
If you want to iterate with side-effects, then you should use a proper
for or foreach loop.
grep{ print frobulate($_) } @list; #not ok
print map{ frobulate($_) } @list; #ok
grep{ $_ = lc $_ } @list; #not ok
for( @list ){ $_ = lc $_ }; #ok
map{ push @frobbed, frobulate($_) } @list; #not ok
@frobbed = map { frobulate($_) } @list; #ok
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
