Very rarely do I not test code I post. I know I'm mortal, and code of mine can have errers [sic]. But as for my coding style, I tend to do the following:

• BLOCKs are started with a brace on the line with the control structure (or function definition), and, except for one-liners, have all EXPRs in them on subsequent lines

  sub NAME {
    EXPR;
    EXPR;
  }
  sub NAME (PROTO) {
    EXPR;
    EXPR;
  }
  if (EXPR) { EXPR }

• Semicolons are optional after one-liners (like above)
• Closing braces appear on lines by themselves (except for in the case of one-liners (that means I do NOT "hug" my else's)

  if (EXPR) {
    EXPR
  }
  else {
    EXPR
  }

• I use 2-space indents
• Space between 'if' and '(', and between ')' and '{' (as shown above)
• No space between function name and '('

  foo(1,2,3);
  bar({
    a => $str,
    b => $trs,
  });
  [download]

There's a myriad of other things I do, which can of course be divined from my code fragments I display on the site (or my programs you happen to come across).
