GitHub Action for Perl Critic

This Action allows you to run Perl Critic on your codebase directly from GitHub.
Errors are reported as annotations on your check runs.

By default, Perl Critic uses a .perlcriticrc file, if it is present in the current directory.
Using the action's args, you can override any settings, as they're passed to perlcritic directly.

Secrets

• GITHUB_TOKEN - Optional. If added, this action will post Perl Critic violations as a comment on your commit/PR.
