=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitStringySplit - Write C<split /-/, $string> instead of C<split '-', $string>.


=head1 AFFILIATION

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


=head1 DESCRIPTION

The C<split> function always interprets the PATTERN argument as a
regular expression, even if you specify it as a string.  This causes
much confusion if the string contains regex metacharacters.  So for
clarity, always express the PATTERN argument as a regex.

    $string = 'Fred|Barney';
    @names = split '|', $string; #not ok, is ('F', 'r', 'e', 'd', '|', 'B', 'a' ...)
    @names = split m/[|]/, $string; #ok, is ('Fred', Barney')

When the PATTERN is a single space the C<split> function has special
behavior, so Perl::Critic forgives that usage.  See C<"perldoc -f
split"> for more information.


=head1 CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
