NAME

       Perl::Critic::Policy::CodeLayout::RequireTrailingCommas - Put a comma at the end of every
       multi-line list declaration, including the last one.

AFFILIATION

       This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.

DESCRIPTION

       Conway suggests that all elements in a multi-line list should be separated by commas,
       including the last element.  This makes it a little easier to re-order the list by cutting
       and pasting.

           my @list = ($foo,
                       $bar,
                       $baz);  #not ok

           my @list = ($foo,
                       $bar,
                       $baz,); #ok

CONFIGURATION

       This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.

NOTES

       In the PPI parlance, a "list" is almost anything with parentheses.  I've tried to make
       this Policy smart by targeting only "lists" that have at least one element and are being
       assigned to something.  However, there may be some edge cases that I haven't covered.  If
       you find one, send me a note.
