# This rule says that builtin functions should not be called with parentheses
# e.g.: (taken from CPAN's documentation)
# open($handle, '>', $filename); #not ok
# open $handle, '>', $filename;  #ok
# Applying such a rule would mean modifying a huge number of lines for a
# question of style.
[-CodeLayout::ProhibitParensWithBuiltins]

# This rule states that each system call should have its return value checked
# The problem is that it includes the print call. Checking every print call's
# return value would be harmful to the code readabilty.
# This configuration keeps all default function but print.

[-ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitConstantPragma]

# This rule is not really useful (rather a question of style) and produces many
# warnings among the code.
