=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::ProhibitBarewordDirHandles - Write C<opendir my $dh, $dirname;> instead of C<opendir DH, $dirname;>.

=head1 AFFILIATION

This Policy is part of the core L<Perl::Critic|Perl::Critic>
distribution.


=head1 DESCRIPTION

Using bareword symbols to refer to directory handles is particularly evil
because they are global, and you have no idea if that symbol already
points to some other file or directory handle.  You can mitigate some of that risk
by C<local>izing the symbol first, but that's pretty ugly.  Since Perl
5.6, you can use an undefined scalar variable as a lexical reference
to an anonymous file handle or directory handle.  Alternatively, see the
L<IO::Handle|IO::Handle> or L<IO::Dir|IO::Dir>
modules for an object-oriented approach.

    opendir DH, $some_dir;            #not ok
    opendir *DH, $some_dir;           #not ok
    opendir \*DH, $some_dir;          #not ok
    opendir local *DH, $some_dir;     #not ok
    opendir $dh, $some_dir;           #ok
    opendir my $dh, $some_dir;        #ok
    opendir our $dh, $some_dir;       #ok
    opendir local $dh, $some_dir;     #ok
    my $dh = IO::Dir->new($some_dir); #ok

And Perl7 will probably drop support for bareword filehandles.

=head1 CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
