Perl::Critic::Policy::RegularExpressions::ProhibitSingleCharAlternation - Use "[abc]" instead of "a|b|c".

Affiliation

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

Author

       Chris Dolan <cdolan@cpan.org>

Configuration

       This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.

Credits

       Initial development of this policy was supported by a grant from the Perl Foundation.

Description

       Character classes (like "[abc]") are significantly faster than single character alternations (like
       "(?:a|b|c)").  This policy complains if you have more than one instance of a single character in an
       alternation.  So "(?:a|the)" is allowed, but "(?:a|e|i|o|u)" is not.

Name
