=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitQuotesAsQuotelikeOperatorDelimiters - Don't use quotes (C<'>, C<">, C<`>) as delimiters for the quote-like operators.


=head1 AFFILIATION

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


=head1 DESCRIPTION

With the obvious exception of using single-quotes to prevent
interpolation, using quotes with the quote-like operators kind of
defeats the purpose of them and produces obfuscated code, causing
problems for future maintainers and their editors/IDEs.

    $x = q"q";                #not ok
    $x = q'q';                #not ok
    $x = q`q`;                #not ok

    $x = qq"q";               #not ok
    $x = qr"r";               #not ok
    $x = qw"w";               #not ok

    $x = qx`date`;            #not ok

    $x =~ m"m";               #not ok
    $x =~ s"s"x";             #not ok
    $x =~ tr"t"r";            #not ok
    $x =~ y"x"y";             #not ok

    $x =~ m'$x';              #ok
    $x =~ s'$x'y';            #ok
    $x = qr'$x'm;             #ok
    $x = qx'finger foo@bar';  #ok


=head1 CONFIGURATION

This policy has three options: C<single_quote_allowed_operators>,
C<double_quote_allowed_operators>, and
C<back_quote_allowed_operators>, which control which operators are
allowed to use each of C<'>, C<">, C<`> as delimiters, respectively.

The values allowed for these options are a whitespace delimited
selection of the C<m>, C<q>, C<qq>, C<qr>, C<qw>, C<qx>, C<s>, C<tr>,
and C<y> operators.

By default, double quotes and back quotes (backticks) are not allowed
as delimiters for any operators and single quotes are allowed as
delimiters for the C<m>, C<qr>, C<qx>, and C<s> operators.  These
defaults are equivalent to having the following in your
F<.perlcriticrc>:

    [ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitQuotesAsQuotelikeOperatorDelimiters]
    single_quote_allowed_operators = m s qr qx
    double_quote_allowed_operators =
    back_quote_allowed_operators =
