NAME

       Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitNoisyQuotes - Use "q{}" or "qq{}"
       instead of quotes for awkward-looking strings.

AFFILIATION

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

DESCRIPTION

       Don't use quotes for one or two-character strings of non-alphanumeric characters (i.e.
       noise).  These tend to be hard to read.  For legibility, use "q{}" or a named value.
       However, braces, parentheses and brackets tend to look better in quotes, so those are
       allowed.

           $str = join ',', @list;     #not ok
           $str = join ",", @list;     #not ok
           $str = join q{,}, @list;    #better

           $COMMA = q{,};
           $str = join $COMMA, @list;  #best

           $lbrace = '(';          #ok
           $rbrace = ')';          #ok
           print '(', @list, ')';  #ok

CONFIGURATION

       This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
