NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitImplicitNewlines

DESCRIPTION

Strings with embedded line breaks are hard to read. Use concatenation or HEREDOCs instead. 
   my $foo = "Line one is quite long
   Line two";                                    # Bad
 
   my $foo = "Line one is quite long\nLine two"; # Better, but still hard to read
 
   my $foo = "Line one is quite long\n"
     . "Line two";                               # Better still
 
   my $foo = <<'EOF';                            # Use heredoc for longer passages
   Line one is quite long
   Line two
   Line three breaks the camel's back
   EOF
