But isn't this always the case when you're dealing with statements that take lists as arguments?
# Ooops!
print join ",", @foo, "\n";
# Ooops!
print grep /o/, @foo, "Hello world!\n";
# Ooops!
print table{
map {
tr(td($_->[0]), td($_->[1])) } @foo,
...
My rule of thumb is, if one of these statements is followed by anything besides its argument, then parenthesize that statement's entire argument list.
# De-oopsed.
print join(",", @foo), "\n";
print grep(/o/, @foo), "Hello world!\n";
print table{
map({
tr(td($_->[0]), td($_->[1])) } @foo),
...

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).
