Perl::Critic::Policy::Tics::ProhibitLongLines - 80 x 40 for life!
version 0.010
Please keep your code to about eighty columns wide, the One True Terminal Width. Going over that occasionally is okay, but only once in a while.
This policy always throws a violation for extremely long lines. It will also throw a violation if there are too many lines that are slightly longer than the preferred maximum length. If a only few lines exceed the preferred maximum width, they're let slide and only extremely long lines are violations.
This library should run on perls released even a long time ago. It should work on any version of perl released in the last five years.
Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.
There are three configuration options for this policy:
base_max - the preferred maximum line length (default: 80) hard_max - the length beyond which a line is "extremely long" (default: base_max * 1.5) pct_allowed - the percentage of total lines which may fall between base_max and hard_max before those violations are reported (default: 1)
