=head1 NAME

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

=head1 AFFILIATION

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


=head1 DESCRIPTION

Conway discourages using C<unless> because it leads to
double-negatives that are hard to understand.  Instead, reverse the
logic and use C<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 C<unless>.  For the postfix
variety, see C<ProhibitPostfixControls>.


=head1 CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
