       Perl::Critic::Policy::ControlStructures::ProhibitUnlessBlocks - Write
       "if(! $condition)" instead of "unless($condition)".

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

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       Conway discourages using "unless" because it leads to double-negatives
       that are hard to understand.  Instead, reverse the logic and use "if".

           unless($condition) { do_something() } #not ok
           unless(! $no_flag) { do_something() } #really bad
           if( ! $condition)  { do_something() } #ok

       This Policy only covers the block-form of "unless".  For the postfix
       variety, see "ProhibitPostfixControls".

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