I try and avoid thinking about it! Actually what I do is run things through
perltidy and live with the results. For instance, the code:
if ($a or $b or $c or $d or $e or $f or $g or $h or $i or $j or $k or
+$l or $m or $n) {
}
when run through perltidy comes out like:
if ( $a
or $b
or $c
or $d
or $e
or $f
or $g
or $h
or $i
or $j
or $k
or $l
or $m
or $n )
{
}
Skipping lightly over endless arguments about just where the "damn curly brace" should go gives me extra time to realize that the silly thing is missing or the like!
