I'm not a really big fan of automated/mandated coding style (unless I'm reading obfuscated code)
When I'm writing code, I just write it in my own style anyway, and when working on someone else's code that has a consistent style I usually try to copy that. I basically only use perltidy when someone else's code is hard to read (like some of the questions posted here sometimes have mixed up indentation), and I've worked out my own perltidyrc that produces output that's close enough to my own style. Running perltidy on my code would usually mess up my style in a few small places so I don't do that :-)

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
