Hi all,
When i write a function, loop, etc., i write like this: 
sub blablabla()
{
    ...
    $var = "123";
    ...
}

But I've seen that some people write it like this; 
sub blablabla(){
    ...
    $var = "123";
    ...
}

, i.e. putting the first bracket at the end of the previous row. I think that this more difficult to read, but that's just my opinion.
My question is, why do some of you choose to write it like this? Is it to compact your code, or do you find it easier to read?

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.
  • Please read these before you post! —
