some discussion about the McCabe number and other complexity metrics.

Whereas
L<Perl::Critic::Policy::Subroutines::ProhibitExcessComplexity|Perl::Critic::Policy::Subroutines::ProhibitExcessComplexity>
scores the complexity of each subroutine, this Policy scores the total
complexity of all the code that is B<outside> of any subroutine
declaration.

The usual prescription for reducing complexity is to refactor code
into smaller subroutines.  Mark Dominus book "Higher Order Perl" also
describes callbacks, recursion, memoization, iterators, and other
techniques that help create simple and extensible Perl code.


=head1 CONFIGURATION

The maximum acceptable McCabe score can be set with the C<max_mccabe>

configuration item.  If the sum of all code B<outside> any subroutine has a
McCabe score higher than this number, it will generate a Policy violation.
The default is 20.  An example section for a F<.perlcriticrc>:

possible paths through a subroutine.  This Policy approximates the
McCabe score by summing the number of conditional statements and
operators within a subroutine.  Research has shown that a McCabe score
higher than 20 is a sign of high-risk, potentially untestable code.
