Emacs.... Yes... I've heard there's a good editor for that platform. ;)

Couldn't resist.

    Hei, didn't you want to show me how Geany/Scintilla re-indents a chunk of perl-code?

    ( Couldn't resist. ;-)

    Cheers Rolf

      Lol. Yeah, you got me. It will indent a chunk, or outdent a chunk, but it won't re-indent to some standard. Maybe I find doing it manually therapeutic.


      Dave

        the usual workaround for the "lower league editors"¹ is to pipe a selection thru perltidy and to bind this to a short-cut.

        HTH
