Perl tidy
Keeping code well formatted is not vital, however, it reduces the cost of maintainance and it raises acceptance among co-workers. Whenever someone looks into code snippets which vary all over the place the results are unpredicatable. There are reasonable tools on the market which tests your code and formats it.
A common one is the Perl module Perl::Tidy. Perl::Tidy let's you specify the way your code is being formatted by using a configuration file named ~/.perltidyrc
. The Mojolicious github repository has a nice perltidyrc included. Why not using the way the Mojolicious project format the code?
-
Install Perl::Tidy (easiest way:
cpan Perl::Tidy
) -
Download the perltidyrc file from the Mojolicious repo and install it inside your home directory.
perl -Mojo -e 'print g("http://github.com/kraih/mojo/raw/master/.perltidyrc")->body' \ > ~/.perltidyrc
-
perltidy
will use the default configuration file named~/.perltidyrc
if no further options are give. You can use a differentperltidyrc
file using the command option-pro=<perltidyrc
>. -
Format your sources (
perltidy <sourcefile>
)
