NAME
       Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProhibitConditionalDeclarations - Do
       not write " my $foo = $bar if $baz; ".

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

DESCRIPTION
       Declaring a variable with a postfix conditional is really confusing.
       If the conditional is false, its not clear if the variable will be
       false, undefined, undeclared, or what.  It's much more straightforward
       to make variable declarations separately.

           my $foo = $baz if $bar;          #not ok
           my $foo = $baz unless $bar;      #not ok
           our $foo = $baz for @list;       #not ok
           local $foo = $baz foreach @list; #not ok

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