NAME

       Perl::Critic::Policy::ControlStructures::ProhibitCStyleForLoops - Write "for(0..20)"
       instead of "for($i=0; $i<=20; $i++)".

AFFILIATION

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

DESCRIPTION

       The 3-part "for" loop that Perl inherits from C is butt-ugly, and only really necessary if
       you need irregular counting.  The very Perlish ".." operator is much more elegant and
       readable.

           for($i=0; $i<=$max; $i++){      #ick!
               do_something($i);
           }

           for(0..$max){                   #very nice
               do_something($_);
           }

CONFIGURATION

       This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
