NAME

       Perl::Critic::Pulp::Utils - shared helper code for the Pulp perlcritic add-on

SYNOPSIS

        use Perl::Critic::Pulp::Utils;

DESCRIPTION

       This is a bit of a grab bag, but works as far as it goes.

FUNCTIONS

   Element Functions
       "$pkgelem = Perl::Critic::Pulp::Utils::elem_package ($elem)"
           $elem is a "PPI::Element".  Return the "PPI::Statement::Package" containing $elem, or
           "undef" if $elem is not in the scope of any package statement.

           The search upwards begins with the element preceding $elem, so if $elem itself is a
           "PPI::Statement::Package" then that's not the one returned, instead its containing
           package.

       "$bool = Perl::Critic::Pulp::Utils::elem_in_BEGIN ($elem)"
           Return true if $elem (a "PPI::Element") is within a "BEGIN" block (ie. a
           "PPI::Statement::Scheduled" of type "BEGIN").

       "$bool = Perl::Critic::Pulp::Utils::elem_is_comma_operator ($elem)"
           Return true if $elem (a "PPI::Element") is a comma operator ("PPI::Token::Operator"),
           either "," or "=>'.

   Policy Parameter Functions
       "Perl::Critic::Pulp::Utils::parameter_parse_version ($self, $parameter, $str)"
           This is designed for use as the "parser" field of a policy's "supported_parameters"
           entry for a parameter which is a version number.

               { name        => 'above_version',
                 description => 'Check only above this version of Perl.',
                 behavior    => 'string',
                 parser      => \&Perl::Critic::Pulp::Utils::parameter_parse_version,
               }

           $str is parsed with the "version.pm" module.  If valid then the parameter is set with
           "$self->__set_parameter_value" to the resulting "version" object (so for example field
           $self->{'_above_version'}).  If invalid then an exception is thrown per
           "$self->throw_parameter_value_exception".

EXPORTS

       Nothing is exported by default, but the functions can be requested in usual "Exporter"
       style,

           use Perl::Critic::Pulp::Utils 'elem_in_BEGIN';
           if (elem_in_BEGIN($elem)) {
             # ...
           }

       There's no ":all" tag since this module is meant as a grab-bag of functions and importing
       as-yet unknown things would be asking for name clashes.
