Unfortunately, the devil is in the detail. At work, we tried to run it over our codebase: where the formatting was previously complex and provoked discussions, the automated results were plain wrong, as the meaning of the code was lost.

($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-||-|5+lengthSq)`"S|oS2"`map{chr |+ord
}map{substrSq`S_+|`|}3E|-|`7**2-3:)=~y+S|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a,

    Believable!

    I'd be interested to see an example, configuration of perltidy is indeed complex.

      For example, with
      Read more... (1526 Bytes)

      the following part of the code (note the tabs) 

              Exception::throw(
            sprintf(
                'Problem accessing resource on URI: "%s" by "%s" at "%
+s, line %s".',
                $uri, caller()
            )
        );

      was tidied to 

              Exception::throw(
            sprintf(
'Problem accessing resource on URI: "%s" by "%s" at "%s, line %s".',
                $uri, caller()
            )
        );

      Basically, long lines are broken in unexpected places, ternary operator is rendered unreadable, etc.

      ($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-||-|5+lengthSq)`"S|oS2"`map{chr |+ord
}map{substrSq`S_+|`|}3E|-|`7**2-3:)=~y+S|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a,
