in reply to need help divining PerlTidy option

Thanks for the replies, guys.

2teez, I think your solution works only because you extend the line length and then reduce the indentation width. This then allows my example string to fit within the or die line.

I'd rather have PerlTidy prefer correct indentation alignment over enforcing maximum line length.

Which is exactly the option that runrig pointed out. The --nooutdent-long-lines option seems to be what I'm looking for. Thanks again, that was driving me crazy =)

Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K.
