NAME

       Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProtectPrivateVars - Prevent access to private vars in
       other packages.

AFFILIATION

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

DESCRIPTION

       By convention Perl authors (like authors in many other languages) indicate private methods
       and variables by inserting a leading underscore before the identifier.  This policy
       catches attempts to access private variables from outside the package itself.

CONFIGURATION

       This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.

HISTORY

       This policy is inspired by a similar test in B::Lint
