NAME
       Perl::Critic::Policy::Freenode::PreferredAlternatives - Various modules with preferred alternatives


DESCRIPTION
       Various modules have alternatives that are preferred by the denizens of #perl on Freenode IRC, for
       various reasons which may include: buggy behavior, cruft, performance problems, maintainer issues, or
       simply better modern replacements.  This is a low severity complement to
       Perl::Critic::Policy::Freenode::DiscouragedModules.


MODULES
   Getopt::Std
       Getopt::Std was the original very simplistic command-line option processing module. It is now obsoleted
       by the much more complete solution Getopt::Long, which also supports short options, and is wrapped by
       modules such as Getopt::Long::Descriptive and Getopt::Long::Modern for simpler usage.

   JSON
       JSON.pm is old and full of slow logic. Use JSON::MaybeXS instead, it is a drop-in replacement in most
       cases.

   List::MoreUtils
       List::MoreUtils is a far more complex distribution than it needs to be. Use List::SomeUtils instead, or
       see List::Util or List::UtilsBy for alternatives.

   Mouse
       Mouse was created to be a faster version of Moose, a niche that has since been better filled by Moo. Use
       Moo instead.

   Readonly
       Readonly.pm is buggy and slow. Use Const::Fast or ReadonlyX instead, or the core pragma constant.


AFFILIATION
       This policy is part of Perl::Critic::Freenode.


CONFIGURATION
       This policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
