=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitNoisyQuotes - Use C<q{}> or C<qq{}> instead of quotes for awkward-looking strings.


=head1 AFFILIATION

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


=head1 DESCRIPTION

Don't use quotes for one or two-character strings of non-alphanumeric
characters (i.e. noise).  These tend to be hard to read.  For
legibility, use C<q{}> or a named value.  However, braces,
parentheses and brackets tend to look better in quotes, so those
are allowed.

    $str = join ',', @list;     #not ok
    $str = join ",", @list;     #not ok
    $str = join q{,}, @list;    #better

    $COMMA = q{,};
    $str = join $COMMA, @list;  #best

    $lbrace = '(';          #ok
    $rbrace = ')';          #ok
    print '(', @list, ')';  #ok


=head1 CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
