>Are you sure about that? My understanding was that perltidy breaks lines for the very reason that they are too long ...

I misspoke about that part. But I was on the right track. The thing I missed before is that indentation is treated differently if there is a long expression inside parentheses. There is also a difference if all the operators in an expression are the same. The examples below show what I mean. It seems to be working consistently. Have you tried running it on a large chunk of code to see how different situations are handled?

testtidy.pl

if ($foofoofoofoofoo && $barbarbarbarbar && $bazbazbazbazbaz && $bazba +zbazbazbaz) { foo1(); } if ($foofoofoofoofoo && $barbarbarbarbar && $bazbazbazbazbaz) { foo2(); } $foofoofoofoofoo = "abcdef ghijklmnop" . "abcdef ghijklmnop"; $foofoofoofoofoo = "abcdef ghijklmnop" . "abcdef ghijklmnop" . "abcdef + ghijklmnop"; $foofoofoofoofoo = "abcdef ghijklmnop" . "abcdef ghijklmnop" . "abcdef + ghijklmnop" . "abcdef ghijklmnop"; my $level1 = ( $max_index_to_go >= 0 ) ? $levels_to_go_12345[0] : $las +t_output_level_12345; my $level2 = ( $max_index_to_go >= 0 ) ? $levels_to_go_1234567890[0] : + $last_output_level_1234567890; while ($foofoofoofoofoo && $barbarbarbarbar && $bazbazbazbazbaz && $ba +zbazbazbazbaz) { 1; } while ("abcdef ghijklmnop" . "abcdef ghijklmnop" . "abcdef ghijklmnop" + . "abcdef ghijklmnop") { 1; } ($foofoofoofoofoo && $barbarbarbarbar && $bazbazbazbazbaz && $bazbazba +zbazbaz || $123456) || $bazbazbazbazbaz; ($foofoofoofoofoo && $barbarbarbarbar && $bazbazbazbazbaz && $bazbazba +zbazbaz && $123456) || $bazbazbazbazbaz;

When I run perltidy -l=80 -i=4 -ci=2 testtidy.pl it produces this:

if ( $foofoofoofoofoo && $barbarbarbarbar && $bazbazbazbazbaz && $bazbazbazbazbaz ) { foo1(); } if ( $foofoofoofoofoo && $barbarbarbarbar && $bazbazbazbazbaz ) { foo2(); } $foofoofoofoofoo = "abcdef ghijklmnop" . "abcdef ghijklmnop"; $foofoofoofoofoo = "abcdef ghijklmnop" . "abcdef ghijklmnop" . "abcdef ghijklmnop"; $foofoofoofoofoo = "abcdef ghijklmnop" . "abcdef ghijklmnop" . "abcdef ghijklmnop" . "abcdef ghijklmnop"; my $level1 = ( $max_index_to_go >= 0 ) ? $levels_to_go_12345[0] : $last_output_le +vel_12345; my $level2 = ( $max_index_to_go >= 0 ) ? $levels_to_go_1234567890[0] : $last_output_level_1234567890; while ($foofoofoofoofoo && $barbarbarbarbar && $bazbazbazbazbaz && $bazbazbazbazbaz ) { 1; } while ( "abcdef ghijklmnop" . "abcdef ghijklmnop" . "abcdef ghijklmnop" . "abcdef ghijklmnop" ) { 1; } ( $foofoofoofoofoo && $barbarbarbarbar && $bazbazbazbazbaz && $bazbazb +azbazbaz || $123456 ) || $bazbazbazbazbaz; ( $foofoofoofoofoo && $barbarbarbarbar && $bazbazbazbazbaz && $bazbazbazbazbaz && $123456 ) || $bazbazbazbazbaz;

Edit: Here's one more example using a lot of parentheses. testtidy2.pl:

(($foofoofoofoofoo && $barbarbarbarbar && $bazbazbazbazbaz && $bazbazb +azbazbaz || $12345678901234567890) && $test112345123456789 ) && $test +22222233333 || $bazbazbazbazbaz || $bazbazbazbazbaz123456 && $bazbazb +azbazbaz123456789 || (($x1122334441234512345 && $x2211123451345 % $x3 +3112212345123451234 && $y111222123451234512345 || $y11122222123451234 +5 ) && ($x1234512345123456789 || $x12345612345123456789 || $x12356712 +3451234567890 && $x1234123412345 )) || $xx1122331234512345 && $xx1231 +231234512345;

I compared running perltidy.pl with the default options and with your options and it gave the same output. If it used the continuing line spacing inside parentheses I don't think it would be as clear as this.

( ( $foofoofoofoofoo && $barbarbarbarbar && $bazbazbazbazbaz && $bazbazbazbazbaz || $12345678901234567890 ) && $test112345123456789 ) && $test22222233333 || $bazbazbazbazbaz || $bazbazbazbazbaz123456 && $bazbazbazbazbaz123456789 || ( ( $x1122334441234512345 && $x2211123451345 % $x33112212345123451234 && $y111222123451234512345 || $y111222221234512345 ) && ( $x1234512345123456789 || $x12345612345123456789 || $x123567123451234567890 && $x1234123412345 ) ) || $xx1122331234512345 && $xx1231231234512345;
