=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitVoidGrep - Don't use C<grep> in void contexts.


=head1 AFFILIATION

This Policy is part of the core L<Perl::Critic|Perl::Critic>
distribution.


=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<map> and C<grep> are intended to be pure functions, not mutators.
If you want to iterate with side-effects, then you should use a proper
C<for> or C<foreach> loop.

    grep{ print frobulate($_) } @list;           #not ok
    print map{ frobulate($_) } @list;            #ok

    grep{ $_ = lc $_ } @list;                    #not ok
    for( @list ){ $_ = lc $_  };                 #ok

    map{ push @frobbed, frobulate($_) } @list;   #not ok
    @frobbed = map { frobulate($_) } @list;      #ok


=head1 CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
