=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProhibitConditionalDeclarations - Do not write C< my $foo = $bar if $baz; >.


=head1 AFFILIATION

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


=head1 DESCRIPTION

Declaring a variable with a postfix conditional is really confusing.
If the conditional is false, its not clear if the variable will be
false, undefined, undeclared, or what.  It's much more straightforward
to make variable declarations separately.

    my $foo = $baz if $bar;          #not ok
    my $foo = $baz unless $bar;      #not ok
    our $foo = $baz for @list;       #not ok
    local $foo = $baz foreach @list; #not ok


=head1 CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
