+=head1 NAME
+
+Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::RequireLexicalLoopIterators - Write C<for my $element (@list) {...}> instead of C<for $element (@list) {...}>.
+
+=head1 AFFILIATION
+
+This Policy is part of the core L<Perl::Critic> distribution.
+
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+C<for>/C<foreach> loops I<always> create new lexical variables for named
+iterators. In other words
+
+ for $zed (...) {
+ ...
+ }
+
+is equivalent to
+
+ for my $zed (...) {
+ ...
+ }
+
+This may not seem like a big deal until you see code like
+
+ my $bicycle;
+ for $bicycle (@things_attached_to_the_bike_rack) {
+ if (
+ $bicycle->is_red()
+ and $bicycle->has_baseball_card_in_spokes()
+ and $bicycle->has_bent_kickstand()
+ ) {
+ $bicycle->remove_lock();
+
+ last;
+ }
+ }
+
+ if ( $bicycle and $bicycle->is_unlocked() ) {
+ ride_home($bicycle);
+ }
+
+which is not going to allow you to arrive in time for dinner with your family
+because the C<$bicycle> outside the loop is different from the C<$bicycle>
+inside the loop. You may have freed your bicycle, but you can't remember
+which one it was.
+
+
+=head1 CONFIGURATION
+
+This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
