That doesn't seem to be historically the most preferred method. Here
are some statistics (that are probably lying in some way):
number of perl files in C4 with a line starting with at least one space:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/koha/dev/C4$ ack --perl -cl "^\ +" . | wc -l
220
number of perl files in C4 with a line starting with at least one tab:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/koha/dev/C4$ ack --perl -cl "^\t+" . | wc -l
96
Total number of lines in perl files in C4 that start with at least one space:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/koha/dev/C4$ ack --perl -cl "^\ +" . | cut -d: -f2 | awk
'{ total += $1 } END { print total }'
28890
total number of lines in perl files in C4 that start with at least one tab:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/koha/dev/C4$ ack --perl -cl "^\t+" . | cut -d: -f2 | awk
'{ total += $1 } END { print total }'
6475
I guess the POD blocks are probably throwing this off somewhat. I'm
not really sure how badly, though. That's hard to count. ;)
I think there are at least one or two contributors who use tab
characters to indent their stuff. Most recent patches I've seen seem
to use spaces, from what I can recall.
