Perl::Critic::Policy::Subroutines::ProhibitNestedSubs - "sub never { sub correct {} }".

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

Attention would-be clever Perl writers (including Younger RJBS):

This does not do what you think:

sub do_something {
    ...
    sub do_subprocess {
        ...
    }
    ...
}

do_subprocess() is global, despite where it is declared. Either write your subs without nesting or use anonymous code references.

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
