# Perl::Critic::Command(3pm)

Guts of perlcritic.

## NAME

Perl::Critic::Command - Guts of perlcritic.

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use Perl::Critic::Command qw< run >;
    local @ARGV = qw< --statistics-only lib bin >;
    run();
```

## DESCRIPTION

This is the implementation of the perlcritic command.  You can use this to run the command without going through a command interpreter.

## INTERFACE SUPPORT

This is considered to be a public class.  However, its interface is experimental, and will likely change.

## IMPORTABLE SUBROUTINES

- run()

  Does the equivalent of the perlcritic command.  Unfortunately, at present, this doesn't take any parameters but uses `@ARGV` to get its input instead.  Count on this changing; don't count on the current interface.

## TO DO

Make `run()` take parameters.  The equivalent of `@ARGV` should be passed as a reference.

Turn this into an object.
