=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::RegularExpressions::ProhibitEnumeratedClasses - Use named character classes instead of explicit character lists.


=head1 AFFILIATION

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


=head1 DESCRIPTION

This policy is not for everyone!  If you are working in pure ASCII,
then disable it now or you may see some false violations.

On the other hand many of us are working in a multilingual world with
an extended character set, probably Unicode.  In that world, patterns
like C<m/[A-Z]/> can be a source of bugs when you really meant
C<m/\p{IsUpper}/>.  This policy catches a selection of possible
incorrect character class usage.

Specifically, the patterns are:

B<C<[\t\r\n\f\ ]>> vs. B<C<\s>>

B<C<[\t\r\n\ ]>> vs. B<C<\s>>   (because many people forget C<\f>)

B<C<[A-Za-z0-9_]>> vs. B<C<\w>>

B<C<[A-Za-z]>> vs. B<C<\p{IsAlphabetic}>>

B<C<[A-Z]>> vs. B<C<\p{IsUpper}>>

B<C<[a-z]>> vs. B<C<\p{IsLower}>>

B<C<[0-9]>> vs. B<C<\d>>

B<C<[^\w]>> vs. B<C<\W>>

B<C<[^\s]>> vs. B<C<\S>>


=head1 CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.


=head1 CREDITS

Initial development of this policy was supported by a grant from the
Perl Foundation.
