=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::Subroutines::ProhibitQualifiedSubDeclarations

=head1 AFFILIATION

This policy is part of L<Perl::Critic::StricterSubs|Perl::Critic::StricterSubs>.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Perl permits you to declare subroutines into any package that you
want.  This can be downright dangerous if that package is already
defined elsewhere.

  package Foo;

  sub Bar::frobulate {}  #not ok
  sub frobulate {}       #ok

Even if you declare a subroutine into the current package, using
a fully-qualified name is just weird.

  package  Foo;

  sub Foo::frobulate {} #not ok
  sub frobulate {}      #ok

So this Policy catches any subroutine declaration that contains "::"
in the subroutine's name.

=head1 CAVEATS

Overriding subroutines in other packages is a common testing
technique.  So you may want to disable this policy when critiquing
test scripts.
