Perl::Critic::ProfilePrototype - Generate an initial Perl::Critic profile.

This is a helper class that generates a prototype of a Perl::Critic profile (e.g. a .perlcriticrc file. There are no user-serviceable parts here.

This is considered to be a non-public class. Its interface is subject to change without notice.

new( -policies => \@POLICY_OBJECTS )

Returns a reference to a new Perl::Critic::ProfilePrototype object.

to_string()

Returns a string representation of this ProfilePrototype. See "OVERLOADS" for more information.

When a Perl::Critic::ProfilePrototype is evaluated in string context, it produces a multi-line summary of the policy name, default themes, and default severity for each Perl::Critic::Policy object that was given to the constructor of this ProfilePrototype. If the Policy supports an additional parameters, they will also be listed (but commented-out). The format is suitable for use as a .perlcriticrc file.
