=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::Mardem::ProhibitBlockComplexity

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This Policy approximates the McCabe score within a code block "eg if() {...}".

See L<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclomatic_complexity>

It should help to find complex code block, which should be extracted
into subs, to be more testable.

eg. from

  if( $a ) {
    ...
    ...
    ...
  }

to

  if( $a ) {
    do_something();
  }

=head1 CONFIGURATION

The maximum acceptable McCabe can be set with the C<max_mccabe>
configuration item. Any block with a McCabe score higher than
this number will generate a policy violation. The default is 10.

An example section for a F<.perlcriticrc>:

  [Mardem::ProhibitBlockComplexity]
  max_mccabe = 1

=head1 AFFILIATION

This policy is part of L<Perl::Critic::Mardem>.
