Dear Monk,

My question is related to newly added Perl module Module::Checkstyle.

Writing program to check coding style with the help of above module.

Checkstyle works is that it will look for a config file in $HOME/.module-checkstyle/ folder that is config is in the .ini file format it will set various params for the checkstyle::check module

a. whitespace - checks whitespace before/after , or =>
b. subroutine - checks name/length etc of every sub()
c. package - check for multiple package declaration in one .pm file

config used here
; this is a sample config
global-error-level = warn

[Whitespace]
after-comma     = true
after-fat-comma = true
before-fat-comma = true

[Package]
max-per-file    = 1
has-matching-filename = true
is-first-statement = true

[Subroutine]
disallow-fully-qualified-names = true
[download]

Above config checks perfectly for WHITESPACE as described. But here I need functionality to check open curly braces. any block should have curly braces on the same line. for eg:
if ($foo) {
And no block should have the { on second line
if ($foo)
{
also note the space after the ) and before {

To check this with the exiting packages is not possible for me. Let me know if you guys have any solution for this problem.
