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
