[ #173 ] perltidy.rc from Best Practices Permalink
I just found out that if you call perltidy like so:
perltidy -pbp
... it will implement all recommended formatting options as specified in the Perl Best Practices book.
So ignore the initial version of this post, which was:
According to Perl Best Practices, your perltidy.rc file should look like this:
-l=78 # Max line width is 78 cols
-i=4 # Indent level is 4 cols
-ci=4 # Continuation indent is 4 cols
-st # Output to STDOUT
-se # Errors to STDERR
-vt=2 # Maximal vertical tightness
-cti=0 # No extra indentation for closing brackets
-pt=1 # Medium parenthesis tightness
-bt=1 # Medium brace tightness
-sbt=1 # Medium square bracket tightness
-bbt=1 # Medium block brace tightness
-nsfs # No space before semicolons
-nolq # Don't outdent long quoted strings
-wbb="% + - * / x != == >= <= =~ !~ < > | & >= < = **= += *= &= <<= &&= -= /= |= >>= ||= .= %= ^= x="
# Break before all operators
I believe reprinting this is a service to the Perl coding community - I hope nobody gets angry, especially since I have linked to the book's site, highly recommend it, and have found this perltidy.rc posted on Perl Monks.
