=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProhibitLocalVars - Use C<my> instead of C<local>, except when you have to.


=head1 AFFILIATION

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


=head1 DESCRIPTION

Since Perl 5, there are very few reasons to declare C<local>
variables.  The most common exceptions are Perl's magical global
variables.  If you do need to modify one of those global variables,
you should localize it first.  You should also use the
L<English|English> module to give those variables more meaningful
names.

    local $foo;   #not ok
    my $foo;      #ok

    use English qw(-no_match_vars);
    local $INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR    #ok
    local $RS                        #ok
    local $/;                        #not ok


=head1 CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.


=head1 NOTES

If an external module uses package variables as its interface, then
using C<local> is actually a pretty sensible thing to do.  So
Perl::Critic will not complain if you C<local>-ize variables with a
fully qualified name such as C<$Some::Package::foo>.  However, if
you're in a position to dictate the module's interface, I strongly
suggest using accessor methods instead.
