Hi
I have seen in many places a coding convention that looks like this:
package MooseX::Types::TypeDecorator;
{
$MooseX::Types::TypeDecorator::VERSION = '0.35';
}
use strict;
use warnings;
# and so on
I assume that the author wants to have the version number in a prominent place and so is willing to put one line to trivial code outside of strict but what is the point of putting the assignment to a package variable into an extra block?
Why not simply
package MooseX::Types::TypeDecorator;
use strict;
use warnings;
$MooseX::Types::TypeDecorator::VERSION = '0.35';
Is that just personal taste or is there something to it that I miss?
I just wonder...

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
