This is because paths are usually not portable from one machine to another. Also, Perl automatically assumes that the filename ends in '.pm' when the library is expressed as a bareword. So as a side-effect, this Policy encourages people to write '*.pm' modules instead of the old-school '*.pl' libraries. use 'My/Perl/Module.pm'; #not ok use My::Perl::Module; #ok =head1 CONFIGURATION This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options. =head1 NOTES This Policy is a replacement for C, which completely banned the use of C for the sake of eliminating the old '*.pl' libraries from Perl4. Upon further consideration, I realized that C is quite useful and necessary to enable run-time loading. Thus, C does allow you to use C, but still encourages you to write '*.pm' modules. Sometimes, you may want to load modules at run-time, but you don't know at design-time exactly which module you will need to load (L is an example of this). In that case, just attach the C<'## no critic'> annotation like so: require $module_name; ## no critic =head1 CREDITS Chris Dolan was instrumental in identifying the correct motivation for and behavior of this Policy.
