in reply to Tidy feature to implement recommended code style

I've used PerlTidy only three times with intervals of several months, and I always forget that it doesn't have a .pl extenstion and I always try running it at the command prompt without prepending "perl," which doesn't work. I've had other problems, including not being able to use the standard installation procedure because I couldn't get nmake to work on Windows. The installation instructions aren't for beginners
Yeah, so? Is it PM's job when you can't remember how to invoke a tool?
I figured some beginners might like a PerlTidy web application.

So go ahead and write one. Put it up, post about it here, get some XP*. Write beginner's instructions on how to install it on Windows, post them here, get some XP*. Talk is cheap, feature requests are a dime a dozen dozen (sic). Show some effort.

* As in, that would be appreciated by the "community".
