( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

So as I meditate on the glories that is known as Perl, I was given a script by a coworker to study and learn various methods on how to do certain things within Perl that I had been struggling to figure out was possible.

I began to read through this script of over 1700 lines of code, and none of it is in a easy readable format at all. The code itself works, but it is an absolute disaster, it looks like a computer tornado came through and just messed everything up in terms of readability, yet functionality was unaffected.

I lasted about 5 minutes before I couldn't read it without hurting my eyes, and then I remembered, from perusing the monastery the glories of CPAN, and one of its most used modules here which is known as perltidy. So I run it and thank the heavens, it is not only readable now, but far more organized, and many young puppies are safe from the wrath of the Perl overlords.

I just wanted to come praise the glories that is CPAN, and specifically perltidy, it is truly a Godsend.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
