Two issues emerged from Jonas' Perl::Critic talk at yesterdays CPH.pm meeting.
Straying away from the topic, I learned that Perltidy won't accept Error.pm's try/catch/otherwise as a control structure and consequently doesn't format it the way I like. I like to cuddle my elses (yes, I'm that kind of guy) and would like this formatting for a try block
try {
do something
} catch ... with {
do something
} otherwise {
do something
};
but it seems that Perltidy can't do that. Can anyone confirm this?
The other issue is that Perl::Critic fails make test. I tried on a fairly OK Perl installation, and I see that this issue already has been reported:
t/20_policies.............................NOK 69/682
# Failed test 'BuiltinFunctions::RequireGlobFunction - line 19 - Multiple globs via <...>'
# at t/20_policies.t line 95.
