Perl::Critic::Policy::CodeLayout::RequireConsistentNewlines(3pm)

Perl::Critic::Policy::CodeLayout::RequireConsistentNewlines3pm

Use the same newline through the source.

Affiliation

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

Overview

Source code files are divided into lines with line endings of "\r", "\n" or "\r\n". Mixing these different line endings causes problems in many text editors and, notably, Module::Signature and GnuPG.

Caveat

This policy works outside of PPI because PPI automatically normalizes source code to local newline conventions. So, this will only work if we know the filename of the source code.

Configuration

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
