You can try perltidy, but if you really want to program, you should learn to use a real editor, which can help you with indentation, commenting, completion, etc. لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply]

I normally recommend vim, but it has quite a large learning curve. I think Notepad++ has decent syntax highlighting and code continuation, but I don't remember for certain (I use Unix). Notepad can indent, but not automatically. Typical indenting is one tab per block. However, the standard indenting if possible in your editor is set your tab to four spaces. Here's an article on how to set Notepad++ to 4-space tabs.	[reply]

Yes notepad++ is pretty good, I use it for the few scripts I write and it works a treat. Although, I suggest to go to Settings->Preferences and turn off autocompletion.	[reply]

There's perltidy. But you'll probably have to fix the syntax error in your code before it'll work.	[reply]

Textpad allows indentation and language specific formatting. This program costs a few bucks, but it works.	[reply]
