NAME

       Perl::Critic::Policy::Community::POSIXImports - Don't use POSIX without specifying an
       import list

DESCRIPTION

       The POSIX module imports hundreds of symbols (functions and constants) by default for
       backwards compatibility reasons. To avoid this, and to assist in finding where functions
       have been imported from, specify the symbols you want to import explicitly in the "use"
       statement. Alternatively, specify an empty import list with "use POSIX ()" to avoid
       importing any symbols, and fully qualify the functions or constants, such as
       "POSIX::strftime".

        use POSIX;         # not ok
        use POSIX ();      # ok
        use POSIX 'fcntl'; # ok
        use POSIX qw(O_APPEND O_CREAT O_EXCL O_RDONLY O_RDWR O_WRONLY); # ok
