I started with K&R style. I found it not quite to my liking. Took one
look at GNU and found it deeply ugly to my eyes. So I currently use my
own style, whatever that may happen to be (I've an indent configuration
file that has most of it).
I only tend to step out of that style when I'm coding for something that
has its own guidelines (and I tend to just run indent over what I've
done anyway). The only time I've had to write perl in a place with
coding guidelines, I'd written the guidelines =)

Normally, I use:
if ($x)
{
do this;
do that;
}
I use cuddled if what I'm doing would look silly otherwise. e.g.
if ($blah) {
one line;
} elsif ($flurp) {
one line;
} else {
one line;
}

I'm consistent to the context. Just like perl =)
