Whatever you do, the key is to pick a style and then be consistent. Mixing and matching and random indentation makes your code much harder to work with.

If you are too lazy to pick a style, you can just download perltidy, run it on your scripts, and then accept the way that it does things.

Thanks for the info on PerlTidy :P It took a while to figure out how to install because I had to download nmake and all that but the program does do the trick!

Thanks again! PerlTidy is definately what I was looking for!

example for indentation from your code:

while ($tries < $allowed) {

    print "  Your guess:  ";
    chomp($guess = <STDIN>);
    $tries++;

    if ($guess eq $answer) {
    last;
    } elsif ($guess > $answer) {
    print "                 $guess is too high!\n";
    } elsif ($guess < $answer) {
    print "                 $guess is too low!\n";
    }    
}

If you like to use emacs visit:http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/. It's worth investment of time.

One more point, make your code little modular. That would increase the readability also.

I downloaded Emacs a few days past as someone in the CB said that it would automatically align the codes for you as well. After downloading it and searching through the help docs and asking in the CB no one was able to tell me how to get my code aligned. I ended up going with PerlTidy because that made my code all nice and pretty looking, lol.

Thanks for the example indentation and the suggestion for Emacs.
