Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitMixedBooleanOperators - Write !$foo && $bar || $baz instead of not $foo && $bar or $baz.
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
Conway advises against combining the low-precedence booleans ( and
or not ) with the high-precedence boolean operators ( && || ! )
in the same expression. Unless you fully understand the differences
between the high and low-precedence operators, it is easy to
misinterpret expressions that use both. And even if you do understand
them, it is not always clear if the author actually intended it.
next if not $foo || $bar; #not ok next if !$foo || $bar; #ok next if !( $foo || $bar ); #ok
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
