Are those the only two options? See wikipedia for a longer list of styles. I use banner style, and I also have my reasons to use it: I thought about it. I'm afraid a lot of fresh coders just follow what they were fed at school or what their editor-of-choice gives as prefered style.
sub foo
{
if (bar) {
# Blah!
}
} # foo
WAY more important than what style is used, is that the style is used consistently and by all members in the team.
FWIW I do not think this would be a good poll. It would lead to flame wars.
Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

I agree that consistency in a team is important. I think that programmer should learn how to flexibly write their code to conform to a current project's standards. However, this question isn't asking for the "best" method or even the one you should use in practice on any given project. It's just asking for your preferred method that you would use if you were coding something all by yourself for whatever reason. What method would you use if you were working on a simple project at home or whatever?
If this causes flame wars, than it speaks of the stubborness of Perl programmers in a very negative way. I hope you guys aren't really that stubborn. Geez. I'm not asking for a "correct" answer.
P.S.: Do you have any idea how condescending it is to say that you use your style because you "thought about it," while others who aren't "veterans" like yourself "just follow what they were fed at school or what their editor-of-choice gives as prefered style." Of course us "newbies" can't actually have real justifications for why we use a style! We're just stupid like that, aren't we?
P.P.S.: Okay, so there are more than just two styles. After all, whitespace is fairly "free form" and has no real affect on your code other than readability. If you want to take it that far, I could make some big huge list of styles and have them all be options, or "reference the names" and link to each type for people to actually look up. For most of us, that requires a lot of extra reading to use styles that we probably didn't even think of as having names. Seriously, I think it says a lot about you that you're linking to named styles. They're important, but most of us don't care what the styles are called! You really don't have to know that you're using "Lisp Style" to use it. e_e The only real purpose it "serves" as is a way to quickly referene what you mean without fullly describing it.

I actually use the second method, much to the persistent annoyance of just about everybody I've ever worked with. It lets me see the structure of the code on a teeny font and pressures me to keep my routines small, so they fit on the screen. | [reply] |

Please try to rephrase this poll idea in a way that you think could appear verbatim in a poll. The pollsters won't make a poll with nine-line code snippets embedded in a poll answer. Quoting How do I create a Poll?, “Draft the complete wording of your poll. No one will do it for you.”
