Best practice to using Test::Perl::Critic

Perl::Critic loads all installed policies by default. It means, perlcritic loads "ProhibitAccessOfPrivateData" if it's installed. I don't like that policy. I don't want to write excluding rules for each optional policies. And so, I need to write a lot of policies for 'excludes' section to exclude policies, I don't like.

I got an idea. I SHOULD list include policies instead of excludes policies. It makes me happy, maybe.

Here is a complete example code:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Test::More;

eval {
    require Perl::Critic;
    Perl::Critic->VERSION(1.105);

    require Test::Perl::Critic;
    Test::Perl::Critic->VERSION(1.02);
    Test::Perl::Critic->import(
        -profile => \(join q{}, <DATA>)
    );
};
note $@ if $@;
plan skip_all => "Perl::Critic 1.105+ or Test::Perl::Critic 1.02+ is not installed." if $@;

all_critic_ok('lib', 'script', 'bin');
