=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::RegularExpressions::RequireBracesForMultiline - Use C<{> and C<}> to delimit multi-line regexps.


=head1 AFFILIATION

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


=head1 DESCRIPTION

Long regular expressions are hard to read.  A good practice is to use
the C<x> modifier and break the regex into multiple lines with
comments explaining the parts.  But, with the usual C<//> delimiters,
the beginning and end can be hard to match, especially in a C<s///>
regexp.  Instead, try using C<{}> characters to delimit your
expressions.

Compare these:

    s/
       <a \s+ href="([^"]+)">
        (.*?)
       </a>
     /link=$1, text=$2/xms;

vs.

    s{
       <a \s+ href="([^"]+)">
        (.*?)
       </a>
     }
     {link=$1, text=$2}xms;

Is that an improvement?  Marginally, but yes.  The curly braces lead
the eye better.


=head1 CONFIGURATION

There is one option for this policy, C<allow_all_brackets>.  If this
is true, then, in addition to allowing C<{}>, the other matched pairs
of C<()>, C<[]>, and C<< <> >> are allowed.


=head1 CREDITS

Initial development of this policy was supported by a grant from the
Perl Foundation.
