Not sure about Dancer devs. Maybe they use perltidy of similar tool before committing?

Whitespace at line end is generally considered bad because it leads to confusing diffs and may even break a merge, which is quite annoying. I use a pre-commit script that prohibits that, but that's just me.

I also try to keep my lines' length below 80 chars. And I try to align sentences with lines because that leads to smaller diffs when fixing grammar/typos.

But that doesn't matter that much as POD lumps subsequent lines together and formats the whole paragraph. Unless, of course, one is selling 24" monitors for a living.
