Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProhibitLoopOnHash - Don't write loops on hashes, only on keys and

Author

Configuration

       This policy is not configurable except for the standard options.

Description

       When "looping over hashes," we mean looping over hash keys or hash values. If you forgot to call "keys"
       or "values" you will accidentally loop over both.

           foreach my $foo (%hash) {...}        # not ok
           action() for %hash;                  # not ok
           foreach my $foo ( keys %hash ) {...} # ok
           action() for values %hash;           # ok

       An effort is made to detect expressions:

           action() for %hash ? keys %hash : ();                             # ok
           action() for %{ $hash{'stuff'} } ? keys %{ $hash{'stuff'} } : (); # ok

       (Granted, the second example there doesn't make much sense, but I have found a variation of it in real
       code.)
