NAME
       Perl::Critic::Policy::CodeLayout::RequireTrailingCommas - Put a comma
       at the end of every multi-line list declaration, including the last
       one.

AFFILIATION
       This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.

DESCRIPTION
       Conway suggests that all elements in a multi-line list should be
       separated by commas, including the last element.  This makes it a
       little easier to re-order the list by cutting and pasting.

           my @list = ($foo,
                       $bar,
                       $baz);  #not ok

           my @list = ($foo,
                       $bar,
                       $baz,); #ok

CONFIGURATION
       This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.

NOTES
       In the PPI parlance, a "list" is almost anything with parentheses.
       I've tried to make this Policy smart by targeting only "lists" that
       have at least one element and are being assigned to something.
       However, there may be some edge cases that I haven't covered.  If you
       find one, send me a note.
