Shawn, thanks for that Perl::Tidy tip, it's *very* impressive. I wrote a small-ish Perl script with no indentation (since my Vim wasn't configured), and then after running Perl::Tidy over it, the output was; ---------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use warnings; my $exponent = $ARGV[0]; my $number = 2; my $result = $number; if ( not defined $exponent ) { die "Usage: $0 <exponent>\n"; } else { for ( my $count = 1 ; $count < $exponent ; $count++ ) { $result = $result * $number; } print "$result\n"; } exit(0); ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The entire code snippet is so beautifully layed out, cool. Thanks again. :) ~Mayuresh -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
