=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::Miscellanea::ProhibitFormats - Do not use C<format>.


=head1 AFFILIATION

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


=head1 DESCRIPTION

Formats are one of the oldest features of Perl.  Unfortunately, they
suffer from several limitations.  Formats are static and cannot be
easily defined at run time.  Also, formats depend on several obscure
global variables.

For more modern reporting tools, consider using one of the template
frameworks like L<Template|Template> or try the
L<Perl6::Form|Perl6::Form> module.


=head1 CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
