I always used the second in C, but once I started using Perl and Java I
kept finding something happening that made it seem more consistent to
me to switch to the K&R style. I can't remember what it was for the
life of me, though. =o)
Regarding perlstyle, I personally find that K&R style reads better with
what Larry calls "cuddled elses" --
if ($foo) {
code();
} else {
otherStuff();
}
Now it's just habit, and I try to be consistent. =o)
