I have a question on creating a (dot)perltidyrc file for an existing perl code base. The prevailing style must be replicated or the team will not adopt perltidy. This much I feel certain the perltidyrc file must contain: Uses tabs -et=n And newline braces -bli This is where I run into trouble: the code style does not indent new code in the block beyon the new brace ie: 

sub old_code
    {
    my $self = shift;
    my $file = shift;
    
    if (-e $file) 
        {
        open(my $fh, "<", $file) or die "cannot open < $file: $!";  
        # Do something with the file
        return 1;
        }
    else
        {
        die "$file not found";
        }
    };

How do I create a perltdyrc file that will replicate this coding style? Thanks, Saltbreez
