first of all, kudos on the frequent releasing :)
I've attached a suggested patch to .perltidyrc. I've been playing
around with perltidy'ing all QP code and some results I don't like.
This doesn't fix all the things that I don't like, but it's been sitting
on my laptop for a month so I thought I'd submit it to the ML for
discussion. I haven't committed it to my git since I'd just revert it
if it wasn't accepted :) Here's the relevant documentation to go along
with the additions:
-ce, --cuddled-else
Enable the "cuddled else" style, in which "else" and "elsif"
are follow immediately after the curly brace closing the previous block.
The default is not to use cuddled elses, and is indicated
with the flag -nce or --nocuddled-else. Here is a
comparison of the alternatives:
if ($task) {
yyy();
} else { # -ce
zzz();
}
if ($task) {
yyy();
}
else { # -nce (default)
zzz();
}
[-nbcc], -bbc, --blanks-before-comments
A blank line will be introduced before a full-line comment.
This is the default. Use -nbbc or --noblanks-before-comments to
prevent such blank lines from being introduced.
-msc=n, --minimum-space-to-comment=n
Side comments look best when lined up several spaces to the
right of code. Perltidy will try to keep comments at least n spaces to
the right. The default is n=4 spaces.
