You know you see a badly formated code when you see it.
But there are several good formating styles and choosing one is (if
you are lucky) just a matter of personal taste or (if not so lucky) a
matter of coding style in your company.
But there is not one provably best style.

This is very close to how I would format it.
Just two unimportant notes.
1) I would (if I cared about formating, which I sometimes forget) put
a space after the = in
$value = 1;
2) I'd probably use
$testus = 6 if $testus == 2;
or
$testus = 6
if $testus == 2;
(I guess the single = in the condition was a typo :)

Re: Code Format Question
Hi,
I prefer using the other form of if/unless etc when
possible. And I run under 'use strict;', hence I properly
localise my variables.
I.e.
if ($action eq "Submit") {
my ($value, $value) = (1, 2);
$testus = 6 if ($testus eq "2");
}

It can be easy to get into code styling wars... my advice
is to pick one and stick with it.
Have a look at:
perldoc perlstyle
and:
The jargon file entry under "indent style", which you can
find at:

i think that was nicely formatted code. i usually put { on the next line
becouse i find it easier to see where the scope is:
if ($action eq "Submit")
{
$value = 1;
$value = 2;
if ($testus = "2")
{
$testus = 6;
}
}
but i think what you wrote can be considered following some kind of
codestandard pretty widely adepted.
