Alright, assuming Perl Tidy cannot do this, then my next question is, what are the best practices for object parameters? For example: 

my $blah=$ldap->new(
PARAM1 => $param1,
PARAM2 => $param2,
PARAM3 => $param3,
);

or: 
my Ssth = $dbh->prepare(
"SELECT * FROM DATABASE
WHERE name = '$name'
AND money = '$money'
AND field = '$field'
");

I'm trying to get a feel for how deal with this formatting. Amount of spaces for what's within the parentheses; do the parentheses line up? And so on. I know it's a rather stupid question, but after all these years it's something that is still bothering me. I format everything else beautifully, but when it comes to this I have always been rather clueless.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
