Thanks! To respond to your comments:

  1. The black on white was most readable ... darker gray ... for comments.

    I tried to make a few general Styles that would cover most of the range, but they were really only intended as examples. Did you try the Customize It (Style) button? You can easily alter one or two things from one of my pre-defined Styles, or go crazy and define your own. :-) And if you write your own implementation using the module, of course, you can insert any formatting you like.

  2. The doc page [and code] [were] well formatted [and commented]

    Thanks!

  3. Is there ... a switch that would highlight bracket/paren pairs? Or flag unpaired "pairs"[?]

    Currently, parentheses, brackets (square and curly), and semicolons are all considered 'Symbol's. You can only format them all together. :-( It would be trivial to modify the formatter to distinguish between paren/brackets and "other symbols" so perhaps I'll add it soon. The module doesn't actually parse the code, however, since we all know only perl can parse Perl. ;-) Rather, it works by "tokenizing" the code: breaking it into small pieces that can be recognized as "syntactically significant" and formatted properly. This is not a 100% solution but it seems to work well (enough). One big problem with this approach (or perhaps just my implementation of it) is that it is rather stream-oriented. In otherwords, the formatter can't back-track to the unmatched opening bracket when it realizes that it is unmatched. I'm hoping to eventually incorporate a back-tracking mechanism, as it will be usefull for many things that can't currently be done, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to do it. Hopefully someone here at the Monastery will chime in and help out! :-)

Well, once again I would like to thank you and everyone else who has responded. And I hope that people will find this module usefull!
