in reply to perltidy 20101217 not detecting errors

Dandello,

My advice to you is to step back and figure out what assumptions you are making about your script and/or environment.

Write a short script to prove that PerlTidy *is* working. Once you do that, then you can run PerlTidy against your scripts to find out why they are failing.

General stuff, yeah, but IME problems like these are always because of a bad assumption. Just step back and take a deep breath...
