    Perl Best Practices is a book written by Damian Conway containing 256 guidelines on the art of coding Perl. Some guidelines (e.g. in Chapter 2, Code Layout, Indent with spaces, not tabs.) can be supported by an editor, while others (e.g. in Chapter 7, Documentation Comment anything that has puzzled you.) obviously can not. Which of these guidelines would you want support for?

    There is both documentation and mailing lists over at www.nedit.org.

    Howdy!

    I configured it to use spaces instead of tabs. I added a shell command to run perltidy over the current selection with a command of 'perltidy -st -se' command input of 'either', command output to 'same document', and selected 'output replaces input'. I have .perltidyrc set up to my taste.

    I have another shell command to do 'perl -c' with command input of 'either'. That's not so much a PBP thing as it is simply a 'nedit as an IDE' kind of thing.

    I use nedit extensively at work on Solaris boxes and on my workstation under Cygwin. Right handy, I find. At home, I use BBedit.

    yours,
    Michael

    Wow - I reckon I last used Nedit in 1996.

    ++ - thanks for the memories :)
