NAME
       Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProtectPrivateVars - Prevent access to
       private vars in other packages.

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

DESCRIPTION
       By convention Perl authors (like authors in many other languages)
       indicate private methods and variables by inserting a leading
       underscore before the identifier.  This policy catches attempts to
       access private variables from outside the package itself.

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

HISTORY
       This policy is inspired by a similar test in B::Lint
