Re^3: perlstyle - Unclear wording

I agree that those cases don't make much sense. But with long and complex condition statement, I occassionally break it in some way to help myself understand it, for example:

if (($a1 == $a2) && 
    ($a3 == $a4) && 
    (($a5 == $a6) || ($a7 == $a8))
   ) 
{
}

This way of breaking makes it clear (at least to me) that those lines are at the same level.
