Kind Souls,

I skimmed through "Perl Best Practices" just before inheriting a 1,500+ line file; if there were any new ideas, I missed them. This file has many indentation levels (and I haven't gone to 4 column yet). I'm curious at how ye fellow (?:breth|sist)ren handle the formatting of chunky if statements. I assume below is the cleanest?
# 'tab' is pressed after the '(' # and the following conditions # are aligned via tabs. if ( condition && condition && condition ... ) { statements; }
Since this is Perl I'm thinking TIMTOWTDI that might be better.

Thank You.

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.
