in thread 78/80 chars perl line still a meaningful rule
perltidy does
which seems reasonable, although these days I prefer "condition or" to "unless"confess "Insufficent data in X from {hash lookup} through {hash lookup} so +urce data file {hash lookup}" unless $condition;
$condition or confess "Insufficent data in X from {hash lookup} through {hash lookup} source + data file {hash lookup}";
I've tried my hand at concatenation
And I it is pleasing to the eye, but I wouldn't do that by hand typing (editor IDE should handle it automagically). This also makes searching source code slightly more keyboard clicks but its not a deal breaker for me.$condition or confess "Insufficent data in X from {hash lookup} " . "through {hash lookup} source data file {hash lookup}";
I also like
where confessn would do some newline squashing$condition or confessn "Insufficent data in X from {hash lookup} through {hash lookup} source data file {hash lookup}";
But mostly I just let it go past 80 chars cause is the least hassle and works with all editors :)
