First off, running perltidy as root is not a really good idea. Second, I'm not convinced that chown'ing the file which is created when you use -b to the user of the original file is what one would expect; -b basically behaves as perl's -i.bak does. (It renames to foo.bak and opens a new file.) That said, the documentation of -b should probably be fixed to clarify this. If you agree with my assessment above, I'll adjust the documentation.
