in thread Wrapping long code tags

i'm already used to editing my scripts for character cell displays, since i work over SSH a lot. so, for me, keeping lines at a manageable length does not entail any additional cognitive effort.

    Same here, maybe that's why I find it so anoying!

    At any rate, the node I mentioned above was followed by a "Don't you use line breaks?" question, which I tought was in good order. Not only because of perlmonks aesthetics, but because the coding did look rather odd.

    I'm one of those guys that will do:
    my $foo = 'foo'; my $foobar = 'foobar'; my $foobarbaz = 'foobar and baz';
    instead of
    my $foo = 'foo'; my $foobar = 'foobar'; my $foobarbaz = 'foobar and baz';
    the contrary can be applied to my apartment tho. My living room looks much more like:
    my $foo = 'foo'; my $foobar = $foo.'bar'; my $foobarbaz = $foo.'bar'.' and baz';
    :o)
