Perl::Critic::Policy::NamingConventions::ProhibitMixedCaseVars(3)

NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::NamingConventions::ProhibitMixedCaseVars - Write "$my_variable = 42" instead of "$MyVariable = 42".

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

DESCRIPTION
Conway's recommended naming convention is to use lower-case words separated by underscores. Well-recognized acronyms can be in ALL CAPS, but must be separated by underscores from other parts of the name.

    my $foo_bar   #ok
    my $foo_BAR   #ok
    my @FOO_bar   #ok
    my %FOO_BAR   #ok

    my $FooBar   #not ok
    my $FOObar   #not ok
    my @fooBAR   #not ok
    my %fooBar   #not ok

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