Perl::Critic::Community - Community-inspired Perl::Critic policies

       This module has no functionality, but instead contains documentation for this distribution and acts as a
       means of pulling other modules into a bundle. All of the Policy modules contained herein will have an
       "AFFILIATION" section announcing their participation in this grouping.

       All  policies  included  are in the "community" theme. See the Perl::Critic documentation for how to make
       use of this.

       A set of Perl::Critic policies to enforce the practices generally recommended by subsets of the Perl
       community, particularly on IRC. Formerly known as Perl::Critic::Freenode. Because this policy "theme" is
       designed to be used with zero configuration on the command line, some duplication will occur if it is
       used in combination with core Perl::Critic policies.
