+=head1 NAME
+
+Perl::Critic::Policy::RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusualDelimiters - Use only C<//> or C<{}> to delimit regexps.
+
+
+=head1 AFFILIATION
+
+This Policy is part of the core L<Perl::Critic> distribution.
+
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Perl lets you delimit regular expressions with almost any character,
+but most choices are illegible. Compare these equivalent expressions:
+
+ s/foo/bar/; # good
+ s{foo}{bar}; # good
+ s#foo#bar#; # bad
+ s;foo;bar;; # worse
+ s|\|\||\||; # eye-gouging bad
+
+
+=head1 CONFIGURATION
+
+There is one option for this policy, C<allow_all_brackets>. If this
+is true, then, in addition to allowing C<//> and C<{}>, the other
+matched pairs of C<()>, C<[]>, and C<< <> >> are allowed.
+
+
+=head1 CREDITS
+
+Initial development of this policy was supported by a grant from the
+Perl Foundation.
