Perl::Critic::Policy::Subroutines::ProhibitBuiltinHomonyms - Don't declare your own open function.
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
Common sense dictates that you shouldn't declare subroutines with the
same name as one of Perl's built-in functions. See `perldoc
perlfunc` for a list of built-ins.
sub open {} #not ok
sub exit {} #not ok
sub print {} #not ok
#You get the idea...
Exceptions are made for BEGIN, END, INIT and CHECK blocks,
as well as AUTOLOAD, DESTROY, and import subroutines.
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
It is reasonable to declare an object method with the same name as a Perl built-in function, since they are easily distinguished from each other. However, at this time, Perl::Critic cannot tell whether a subroutine is static or an object method.
