=head1 NAME

B::Lint - Perl lint

=head1 SYNOPSIS

perl -MO=Lint[,OPTIONS] foo.pl

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The B::Lint module is equivalent to an extended version of the B<-w>
option of B<perl>. It is named after the program F<lint> which carries
out a similar process for C programs.

=head1 OPTIONS AND LINT CHECKS

Option words are separated by commas (not whitespace) and follow the
usual conventions of compiler backend options. Following any options
(indicated by a leading B<->) come lint check arguments. Each such
argument (apart from the special B<all> and B<none> options) is a
word representing one possible lint check (turning on that check) or
is B<no-foo> (turning off that check). Before processing the check
arguments, a standard list of checks is turned on. Later options
override earlier ones. Available options are:

=over 8

=item B<magic-diamond>

Produces a warning whenever the magic C<E<lt>E<gt>> readline is
used. Internally it uses perl's two-argument open which itself treats
filenames with special characters specially. This could allow
interestingly named files to have unexpected effects when reading.

  % touch 'rm *|'
  % perl -pe 1

The above creates a file named C<rm *|>. When perl opens it with
C<E<lt>E<gt>> it actually executes the shell program C<rm *>. This
makes C<E<lt>E<gt>> dangerous to use carelessly.

=item B<context>

Produces a warning whenever an array is used in an implicit scalar
context. For example, both of the lines

    $foo = length(@bar);
    $foo = @bar;

will elicit a warning. Using an explicit B<scalar()> silences the
warning. For example,

    $foo = scalar(@bar);

=item B<implicit-read> and B<implicit-write>

These options produce a warning whenever an operation implicitly
reads or (respectively) writes to one of Perl's special variables.
For example, B<implicit-read> will warn about these:

    /foo/;

and B<implicit-write> will warn about these:

    s/foo/bar/;

Both B<implicit-read> and B<implicit-write> warn about this:

    for (@a) { ... }

=item B<bare-subs>

This option warns whenever a bareword is implicitly quoted, but is also
the name of a subroutine in the current package. Typical mistakes that it will
trap are:

    use constant foo => 'bar';
    @a = ( foo => 1 );
    $b{foo} = 2;

Neither of these will do what a naive user would expect.

=item B<dollar-underscore>

This option warns whenever C<$_> is used either explicitly anywhere or
as the implicit argument of a B<print> statement.

=item B<private-names>

This option warns on each use of any variable, subroutine or
method name that lives in a non-current package but begins with
an underscore ("_"). Warnings aren't issued for the special case
of the single character name "_" by itself (e.g. C<$_> and C<@_>).

=item B<undefined-subs>

This option warns whenever an undefined subroutine is invoked.
This option will only catch explicitly invoked subroutines such
as C<foo()> and not indirect invocations such as C<&$subref()>
or C<$obj-E<gt>meth()>. Note that some programs or modules delay
definition of subs until runtime by means of the AUTOLOAD
mechanism.

=item B<regexp-variables>

This option warns whenever one of the regexp variables C<$`>, C<$&> or C<$'>
is used. Any occurrence of any of these variables in your
program can slow your whole program down. See L<perlre> for
details.

=item B<all>

Turn all warnings on.

=item B<none>

Turn all warnings off.

=back

=head1 NON LINT-CHECK OPTIONS

=over 8

=item B<-u Package>

Normally, Lint only checks the main code of the program together
with all subs defined in package main. The B<-u> option lets you
include other package names whose subs are then checked by Lint.

=back

=head1 EXTENDING LINT

Lint can be extended by with plugins. Lint uses L<Module::Pluggable>
to find available plugins. Plugins are expected but not required to
inform Lint of which checks they are adding.

The C<< B::Lint->register_plugin( MyPlugin => \@new_checks ) >> method
adds the list of C<@new_checks> to the list of valid checks. If your
module wasn't loaded by L<Module::Pluggable> then your class name is
added to the list of plugins.

You must create a C<match( \%checks )> method in your plugin class or one
of its parents. It will be called on every op as a regular method call
with a hash ref of checks as its parameter.

The class methods C<< B::Lint->file >> and C<< B::Lint->line >> contain
the current filename and line number.

  package Sample;
  use B::Lint;
  B::Lint->register_plugin( Sample => [ 'good_taste' ] );

  sub match {
      my ( $op, $checks_href ) = shift @_;
      if ( $checks_href->{good_taste} ) {
          ...
      }
  }

=head1 TODO

=over

=item while(<FH>) stomps $_

=item strict oo

=item unchecked system calls

=item more tests, validate against older perls

=head1 BUGS

This is only a very preliminary version.
