=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::RequireLexicalLoopIterators - Write C<for my $element (@list) {...}> instead of C<for $element (@list) {...}>.


=head1 AFFILIATION

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


=head1 DESCRIPTION

This policy asks you to use C<my>-style lexical loop iterator variables:

    foreach my $zed (...) {
        ...
    }

Unless you use C<my>, C<for>/C<foreach> loops use a global variable with
its value C<local> to the block. In other words,

    foreach $zed (...) {
        ...
    }

is more-or-less equivalent to

    {
        local $zed
        foreach $zed (...) {
            ...
        }
    }

This may not seem like a big deal until you see code like

    my $bicycle;
    for $bicycle (@things_attached_to_the_bike_rack) {
        if (
                $bicycle->is_red()
            and $bicycle->has_baseball_card_in_spokes()
            and $bicycle->has_bent_kickstand()
        ) {
            $bicycle->remove_lock();

            last;
        }
    }

    if ( $bicycle and $bicycle->is_unlocked() ) {
        ride_home($bicycle);
    }

which is not going to allow you to arrive in time for dinner with your
family because the C<$bicycle> outside the loop is not changed by the
loop. You may have unlocked your bicycle, but you can't remember which
one it was.

Lexical loop variables were introduced in Perl 5.004. This policy does
not report violations on code which explicitly specifies an earlier
version of Perl (e.g. C<require 5.002;>).


=head1 CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
