Here's the .perltidyrc file PBP recommends; it was left out of the source tarball. Posted with the author's kind permission. 

# PBP .perltidyrc file

-l=78   # Max line width is 78 cols
-i=4    # Indent level is 4 cols
-ci=4   # Continuation indent is 4 cols
-st     # Output to STDOUT
-se     # Errors to STDERR
-vt=2   # Maximal vertical tightness
-cti=0  # No extra indentation for closing brackets
-pt=1   # Medium parenthesis tightness
-bt=1   # Medium brace tightness
-sbt=1  # Medium square bracket tightness
-bbt=1  # Medium block brace tightness
-nsfs   # No space before semicolons
-nolq   # Don't outdent long quoted strings
-wbb="% + - * / x != == >= <= =~ < > | & **= += *= &= <<= &&= -= /= |=

        # Break before all operators

Any typos are my fault, and not TheDamian's. (Edit: And there are 3 fewer typos than there were, thanks Util!)

Well, the odd -wbb list is inherited from perltidy's docs, so that one's not mine or his :)

Edit: Applied update to -wbb pointed out in Re: PBP's .perltidyrc file, was Re: Perl Best Practices. I wonder why !~ was removed?

Previous -wbb value: 

-wbb="% + - * / x != == >= <= =~ !~ < > | & >= < = **= += *= &= <<= &&
+= -= /= |= >>= ||= .= %= ^= x="
