Perl::Critic::Policy::Documentation::RequirePodAtEnd - All POD should be after __END__
.
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
Perl stops processing code when it sees an __END__
statement. So,
to save processing time, it's faster to put
documentation after the __END__
. Also, writing all the POD in one
place usually leads to a more cohesive document, rather than being
forced to follow the layout of your code. This policy issues
violations if any POD is found before an __END__
.
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
Some folks like to use =for
, and =begin
, and =end
tags to
create block comments in-line with their code. Since those tags aren't
usually part of the documentation, this Policy does allows them to
appear before the __END__
statement.
=begin comments frobulate() Accepts: A list of things to frobulate Returns: True if succesful =end comments sub frobulate { ... }
