I use the "operator goes at the end" style, which for
some reason just seems more natural to me. (ISTR someone
else in the monastery claiming that the trailing operator
signals "this isn't done yet"; works for me.) I do this
with long expressions in general, not just logical
expressions in conditionals:
my $str = &long_function_name_foo() .
" some literal string or other " .
&long_function_name_bar();
I know a number of people who religiously break up long
conditionals or subroutine calls, but are perfectly happy
to leave 250-column string concatenations in their code.
That blows my mind every time I see it.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
