Do you know where your variables are?

( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
At the risk of being a freak, I must say, I don't care for tabs or two spaces. Two spaces is too few. A tab is a tab of a lot too much, especially for most normal terminals. It doesn't help that tabs are essentially variable width either.

Tabs mixed with spaces are even worse. If there are to be leading spaces, they should all be spaces.

And can we please get ping-pong line styles working? This left to right stuff is killing me. j/k

Example:
use pingpong;
#!/usr/bin/perl
;"n\dlroW olleH" tnirp
# ^ Much better

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
