Hi again, Rick -

perltidy is a tool that attempts to format perl code in a consistent
way. That .perltidyrc file sets most things to the default, but
changes a few things to be consistent with what seemed like was common
agreement at some point. I actually stole most of the settings from a
few emails that were traded on some Koha list several years before I
arrived on the scene. I stuck it in git so that we could all get to
it.

I've been using it to format new blocks of code that I contribute. I
have my editor set to take a portion of a file and replace it with the
portion that has been formatted with perltidy. I've tried to remember
to do that on most new code I submit and on pieces that I change. No
one seems to be complaining about the format of my code too loudly,
yet, so I guess it's mostly acceptable to the community.

I have noticed that proposals that seek to reformat files in bulk have
not been received too well.

I encourage you to take a look at perltidy. I think it makes perl code
a little bit more readable.
