5B::Lint - Perl lint
6
7=head1 SYNOPSIS
8
9perl -MO=Lint[,OPTIONS] foo.pl
10
11=head1 DESCRIPTION
12
13The B::Lint module is equivalent to an extended version of the B<-w>
14option of B<perl>. It is named after the program B<lint> which carries
15out a similar process for C programs.
16
17=head1 OPTIONS AND LINT CHECKS
18
19Option words are separated by commas (not whitespace) and follow the
20usual conventions of compiler backend options. Following any options
21(indicated by a leading B<->) come lint check arguments. Each such
22argument (apart from the special B<all> and B<none> options) is a
23word representing one possible lint check (turning on that check) or
24is B<no-foo> (turning off that check). Before processing the check
25arguments, a standard list of checks is turned on. Later options
26override earlier ones. Available options are:
27
28=over 8
29
30=item B<context>
31
32Produces a warning whenever an array is used in an implicit scalar
33context. For example, both of the lines
34
35 $foo = length(@bar);
36 $foo = @bar;
37will elicit a warning. Using an explicit B<scalar()> silences the
38warning. For example,
39
40 $foo = scalar(@bar);
41
42=item B<implicit-read> and B<implicit-write>
43
44These options produce a warning whenever an operation implicitly
45reads or (respectively) writes to one of Perl's special variables.
46For example, B<implicit-read> will warn about these:
47
48 /foo/;
49
50and B<implicit-write> will warn about these:
51
52 s/foo/bar/;
53
54Both B<implicit-read> and B<implicit-write> warn about this:
55
56 for (@a) { ... }
57
58=item B<dollar-underscore>
59
60This option warns whenever $_ is used either explicitly anywhere or
61as the implicit argument of a B<print> statement.
62
63=item B<private-names>
64
65This option warns on each use of any variable, subroutine or
66method name that lives in a non-current package but begins with
67an underscore ("_"). Warnings aren't issued for the special case
68of the single character name "_" by itself (e.g. $_ and @_).
69
70=item B<undefined-subs>
71
72This option warns whenever an undefined subroutine is invoked.
73This option will only catch explicitly invoked subroutines such
74as C<foo()> and not indirect invocations such as C<&$subref()>
75or C<$obj-E<gt>meth()>. Note that some programs or modules delay
76definition of subs until runtime by means of the AUTOLOAD
77mechanism.
78
79=item B<regexp-variables>
80
81This option warns whenever one of the regexp variables $', $& or
82$' is used. Any occurrence of any of these variables in your
83program can slow your whole program down. See L<perlre> for
84details.
85
86=item B<all>
87
88Turn all warnings on.
89
90=item B<none>
91
92Turn all warnings off.
93
94=back
95
96=head1 NON LINT-CHECK OPTIONS
97
98=over 8
99
100=item B<-u Package>
101
102Normally, Lint only checks the main code of the program together
103with all subs defined in package main. The B<-u> option lets you
104include other package names whose subs are then checked by Lint.
