Re^2: Why is perltidy using indent-columns instead of continuation-indentation when breaking up a long if-line?

I am not sure what you mean when you say questions like this. Is my question not appropriate for perlmonks?

Yes. I did and the result was that perltidy disagreed with me and increased my two spaces to four.

Is my question not appropriate for perlmonks? Your question is very appropriate for PerlMonks - the way I interpreted karlgoethebier's point was "don't worry too much about things that are too difficult to change" `;-)` Although I do think it's worth it to investigate a bit how difficult it is to change this behavior. Personally I agree with LanX, I tend to format my own code by hand or via the editor's built-in tools and to leave perltidy for cleaning up code I get from elsewhere. But if you want to run perltidy on everything that's fine too, although AFAIK not every bit of its behavior is configurable. Edit: Typos.	[reply] [d/l]
