Use emacs in batch mode.

With this emacs lisp code in file "perl-indent.el":

(cperl-mode) (indent-region 0 (buffer-size) nil) (save-buffer)

And this emacs command line call:

> emacs -batch try.pl -l .emacs -l perl-indent.el

This file "try.pl":

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; for (1) { print "emacs rules"; } while (1) { print " ... at least in viper mode\n"; }

turns into:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; for (1) { print "emacs rules"; } while (1) { print " ... at least in viper mode\n"; }

The call to the ".emacs" initialization file is necessary since emacs won't load it per default in batch mode, and you want your personal indentation preferences to be used, of course.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
