Description
Escaped numeric values are hard to read and debug. Instead, use named values. The syntax is less
compact, but dramatically more readable.
$str = "\x7F\x06\x22Z"; # not ok
use charnames ':full';
$str = "\N{DELETE}\N{ACKNOWLEDGE}\N{CANCEL}Z"; # ok
Name
Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitEscapedCharacters - Write ""\N{DELETE}"" instead of
""\x7F"", etc.
