=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitComplexVersion - Prohibit version values from outside the module.

=head1 AFFILIATION

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


=head1 DESCRIPTION

One tempting way to keep a group of related modules at the same version number
is to have all of them import the version number from a designated module. For
example, module C<Foo::Master> could be the version master for the C<Foo>
package, and all other modules could use its C<$VERSION> by

    use Foo::Master; our $VERSION = $Foo::Master::VERSION;

This turns out not to be a good idea, because all sorts of unintended things
can happen - anything from unintended version number changes to
denial-of-service attacks (since C<Foo::Master> is executed by the 'use').

This policy examines statements that assign to C<$VERSION>, and declares a
violation under two circumstances: first, if that statement uses a
fully-qualified symbol that did not originate in a package declared in the
file; second if there is a C<use> statement on the same line that makes the
assignment.

By default, an exception is made for C<use version;> because of its
recommendation by Perl Best Practices. See the C<forbid_use_version>
configuration variable if you do not want an exception made for C<use
version;>.


=head1 CONFIGURATION

The construction

    use version; our $VERSION = qv('1.2.3');

is exempt from this policy by default, because it is recommended by Perl Best
Practices. Should you wish to identify C<use version;> as a violation, add the
following to your perlcriticrc file:

    [ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitComplexVersion]
    forbid_use_version = 1


=head1 CAVEATS

This code assumes that the hallmark of a violation is a 'use' on the same line
as the C<$VERSION> assignment, because that is the way to have it seen by
L<ExtUtils::MakeMaker|ExtUtils::MakeMaker>->parse_version(). Other ways to get
a version value from outside the module can be imagined, and this policy is
currently oblivious to them.
