                                           User Contributed Perl Documentation


NAME
       Perl::Critic::Policy::ControlStructures::ProhibitCStyleForLoops - Write
       "for(0..20)" instead of "for($i=0; $i<=20; $i++)".

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

DESCRIPTION
       The 3-part "for" loop that Perl inherits from C is butt-ugly, and only
       really necessary if you need irregular counting.  The very Perlish ".."
       operator is much more elegant and readable.

           for($i=0; $i<=$max; $i++){      #ick!
               do_something($i);
           }

           for(0..$max){                   #very nice
               do_something($_);
           }

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