Perl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::ProhibitInteractiveTest(3pm)

Perl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::ProhibitInteractiveTest3pm

Use prompt() instead of -t.

Affiliation

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

Overview

The "-t" operator is fragile and complicated. When you are testing whether "STDIN" is interactive, It's much more robust to use well-tested CPAN modules like IO::Interactive.

Configuration

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
