Perl :: Critic 'Code before strictures' when using Modern :: Perl

Question

I understand that it is better to use Modern :: Perl than to use strict and warning.

With the default settings, Perl :: Critic v1.121 complains about the code before a strict check, even when "Use Modern :: Perl" is used before using the code.

QUESTION: Is the best solution for updating perlcriticrc configuration as shown below, or is there a better way?

Configuration source below

cat ~ / .perlcriticrc

[TestingAndDebugging::RequireUseStrict] equivalent_modules = Modern::Perl [TestingAndDebugging::RequireUseWarnings] equivalent_modules = Modern::Perl

Answer 1

You can “use 5.014” (or higher, if available) to implicitly enable “use strict” right in the first line. Perl :: Critics like this native approach much more. After that, you can continue to use the use of Modern :: Perl if you still feel the need.

Answer 2

I just ran into the same perlcritic problem and I definitely use the .perlcriticrc solution. It automatically processes all my old programs, avoiding the need to return and touching them all.
