Another alternative:
if ($condition) {
do_something();
}
A couple of things:
1. I've found that the braceless if can slow me down when reading C code. I have to remember that the next command is the thing that's done.
2. Cuddling the braces around their control statements saves a lot of whitespace without much loss of readability. Consider the following extension of my suggestion above:
if ($condition) {
do_something();
} else {
if ($another_condition) {
do_something_else();
} else {
do_yet_a_third_thing();
}
}
Just my $0.02

My mission: To boldy split infinitives that have never been split before!

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).
