#NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::ControlStructures::ProhibitCStyleForLoops - Write for(0..20) instead of for($i=0; $i<=20; $i++).

#AFFILIATION

This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.

#DESCRIPTION

The 3-part for loop that Perl inherits from C is butt-ugly, and only really necessary if you need irregular counting. The very Perlish .. operator is much more elegant and readable.

for($i=0; $i<=$max; $i++){      #ick!
    do_something($i);
}

for(0..$max){                   #very nice
    do_something($_);
}

#CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
