ibm1620 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear Monks,

Perltidy (ver 20220613) currently doesn't handle the v5.36 for_list syntax.

Running perltidy -npro:

Before: 

#!/usr/bin/env perl
use v5.36;
no warnings q/experimental::for_list/;
for my ( $k, $v ) ( %ENV ) {
    say "$k=$v";
}
say "Done";

[download]
After: 
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use v5.36;
no warnings q/experimental::for_list/;
for my ( $k, $v ) (%ENV){
    say "$k=$v";
} say "Done";

[download]
Does its experimental status mean that it won't be supported by perltidy? Are there .perltidyrc settings to keep it from removing the line break following the closing bracket?

Thanks!

    Hi IBM! ;-)

    According to this issue it has already been fixed 5 days ago on GitHub.

    edit

    you seem to have the newest CPAN version, I dunno how often the author Steve Hancock will release new versions.

    But as a workaround you should be able to build it from github and put it into a private @INC path with higher priority, till it's officially relased.

    update

    Meta answer: How did I find that?

    I went to the CPAN page and found this link https://metacpan.org/pod/Perl%3A%3ATidy#BUG-REPORTS

    Web-Search didn't help because there are "out-fashioned" SourceForge and request-tracker lists, which show up first.

    update

    I just noted that the author says he wants bug-reports on rt ...

    > 'To report a new bug or problem, use the "issues" link on this page.'

    ... but github-issues seem to be much more frequented.

      Thank you, Rolf! The .03 update from 5 days ago addressed it. Have dl'ed, installed, and it works.

      And thanks for the reminder about bug reports on CPAN :-)

        from GitHub I suppose?

        No thanks needed. These posts are read hundreds of times, please don't take it "personally" ;-)
