+=head1 NAME
+
+Perl::Critic::Policy::Subroutines::ProtectPrivateSubs - Prevent access to private subs in other packages.
+
+=head1 AFFILIATION
+
+This Policy is part of the core L<Perl::Critic> distribution.
+
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+By convention Perl authors (like authors in many other languages)
+indicate private methods and variables by inserting a leading
+underscore before the identifier. This policy catches attempts to
+access private variables from outside the package itself.
+
+
+=head1 CONFIGURATION
+
+This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
+
+
+=head1 HISTORY
+
+This policy is inspired by a similar test in L<B::Lint>
+
+=head1 SEE ALSO
+
+L<Perl::Critic::Policy::Subroutines::ProtectPrivateSubs>
