  Description     : Perl::Critic policy about not assigning an anonymous arrayref to an array

The Perl::Critic::Policy::Plicease::ProhibitArrayAssignAref policy is a fork
of Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitArrayAssignAref. It
differs from the original by not having a dependency on List::MoreUtils.

It asks you not to assign an anonymous arrayref to an array

 @array = [ 1, 2, 3 ]; # bad

The idea is that it's rather unclear whether an arrayref is intended, or
might have meant to be a list like

 @array = ( 1, 2, 3 );

The package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group.
