=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::Subroutines::ProtectPrivateSubs - Prevent access to private subs in other packages.


=head1 AFFILIATION

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


=head1 DESCRIPTION

By convention Perl authors (like authors in many other languages)
indicate private methods and variables by inserting a leading
underscore before the identifier.  This policy catches attempts to
access private variables from outside the package itself.

The subroutines in the L<POSIX|POSIX> package which begin with an underscore
(e.g. C<POSIX::_POSIX_ARG_MAX>) are not flagged as errors by this
policy.


=head1 CONFIGURATION

You can define what a private subroutine name looks like by specifying
a regular expression for the C<private_name_regex> option in your
F<.perlcriticrc>:

    [Subroutines::ProtectPrivateSubs]
    private_name_regex = _(?!_)\w+

The above example is a way of saying that subroutines that start with
a double underscore are not considered to be private.  (Perl::Critic,
in its implementation, uses leading double underscores to indicate a
distribution-private subroutine-- one that is allowed to be invoked by
other Perl::Critic modules, but not by anything outside of
Perl::Critic.)

You can configure additional subroutines to accept by specifying them
in a space-delimited list to the C<allow> option:

    [Subroutines::ProtectPrivateSubs]
    allow = FOO::_bar FOO::_baz

These are added to the default list of exemptions from this policy.
Allowing a subroutine also allows the corresponding method call. So
C<< FOO::_bar >> in the above example allows both C<< FOO::_bar() >>
and C<< FOO->_bar() >>.


=head1 HISTORY

This policy is inspired by a similar test in L<B::Lint|B::Lint>.


=head1 BUGS

Doesn't forbid C<< $pkg->_foo() >> because it can't tell the
difference between that and C<< $self->_foo() >>.
