=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Community - Community-inspired Perl::Critic policies

=head1 SYNOPSIS

$ perlcritic --theme community script.pl $ perlcritic --theme community lib/

.perlcriticrc

theme = community severity = 1

=head1 DESCRIPTION

A set of L policies to enforce the practices generally recommended by subsets of the Perl community, particularly on L<IRC|perlcommunity/IRC>. Formerly known as L. Because this policy "theme" is designed to be used with zero configuration on the command line, some duplication will occur if it is used in combination with core L policies.

=head1 AFFILIATION

This module has no functionality, but instead contains documentation for this distribution and acts as a means of pulling other modules into a bundle. All of the Policy modules contained herein will have an "AFFILIATION" section announcing their participation in this grouping.
