=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::NamingConventions::ProhibitAmbiguousNames - Don't use vague variable or subroutine names like 'last' or 'record'.


=head1 AFFILIATION

This Policy is part of the core L<Perl::Critic|Perl::Critic>
distribution.


=head1 DESCRIPTION

Conway lists a collection of English words which are highly ambiguous
as variable or subroutine names.  For example, C<$last> can mean
previous or final.

This policy tests against a list of ambiguous words for variable
names.


=head1 CONFIGURATION

The default list of forbidden words is:

    abstract bases close contract last left no record right second set

This list can be changed by giving a value for C<forbid> of a series
of forbidden words separated by spaces.

For example, if you decide that C<bases> is an OK name for variables
(e.g.  in bioinformatics), then put something like the following in
C<$HOME/.perlcriticrc>:

    [NamingConventions::ProhibitAmbiguousNames]
    forbid = last set left right no abstract contract record second close


=head1 BUGS

Currently this policy checks the entire variable and subroutine name,
not parts of the name.  For example, it catches C<$last> but not
C<$last_record>.  Hopefully future versions will catch both cases.

Some variable statements will be false positives if they have
assignments where the right hand side uses forbidden names.  For
example, in this case the C<last> incorrectly triggers a violation.

    my $previous_record = $Foo::last;
