# Perl::Critic::Policy::ControlStructures::ProhibitYadaOperator(3pm)

Never use "..." in production code.

## NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::ControlStructures::ProhibitYadaOperator - Never use "..." in production code.

## AFFILIATION

This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.

## DESCRIPTION

The yada operator `"..."` is not something you'd want in production code because it will throw an exception when executed.  However, it is perfectly useful in less critical environments as a placeholder for code not yet implemented.

## CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
