Shawn, thanks for that Perl::Tidy tip, it's *very* impressive.
I wrote a small-ish Perl script with no indentation (since my Vim wasn't
configured), and then after running Perl::Tidy over it, the output was;
----------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
my $exponent = $ARGV[0];
my $number = 2;
my $result = $number;
if ( not defined $exponent ) {
die "Usage: $0 <exponent>\n";
}
else {
for ( my $count = 1 ; $count < $exponent ; $count++ ) {
$result = $result * $number;
}
print "$result\n";
}
exit(0);
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The entire code snippet is so beautifully layed out, cool.
Thanks again. :)
