Perl Style Question

[Gross, Stephan]

Why is this style
 
if ($x) {
    do this;
    do that;
}
 
typically preferred over
 
if ($x)
{
   do this;
   do that;
}
 
I like the latter example because it's easier to cut and paste the braces
and everything in between.  I also think it looks better.  But none of the
top programmers ever seems to do this.
Just wondering...
