NAME

       Perl::Critic::OptionsProcessor - The global configuration default values, combined with
       command-line values.

DESCRIPTION

       This is a helper class that encapsulates the default parameters for constructing a
       Perl::Critic::Config object.  There are no user-serviceable parts here.

INTERFACE SUPPORT

       This is considered to be a non-public class.  Its interface is subject to change without
       notice.

           This is usually only invoked by Perl::Critic::UserProfile, which passes in the global
           values from a .perlcriticrc file.  This object contains no information for individual
           Policies.
