perltidyrc file not being used

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

Hi,

I've installed perltidy but it doesn't seem to be using the options from the .perltidyrc file. According to the docs (http://perltidy.sourceforge.net/perltidy.html) it should check in the current directory for a .perltidyrc file first and use that one. From the directory containing the rc file I'm running the followng.

perltidy path/tp/file.pm > tmp.pm

There's a long comment which is not being indented in the block even though the content of my file is as follows:

-pbp
-lp
-bar
-l=120
-nolq
-vmll
-cti=1
-pt=0
-vt=0
-vtc=0
[download]

How can I make sure perltidy is using my rc file? Running perltidy -dpro gives an output that matches the rc file including the -nolq option.

Thanks,

Ger

There's a long comment which is not being indented in the block `-nolq` applies to long quotes, not long comments. Perhaps you want `-nolc` instead?	[reply] [d/l] [select]
