Perl::Critic::Policy::Modules::RequireEndWithOne - End each module with an explicitly "1;" instead of some funky expression.

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

All files included via "use" or "require" must end with a true value to indicate to the caller that the include was successful. The standard practice is to conclude your .pm files with "1;", but some authors like to get clever and return some other true value like "return "Club sandwich";". We cannot tolerate such frivolity! OK, we can, but we don't recommend it since it confuses the newcomers.

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
