Current Perl documentation can be found at perldoc.perl.org. Here is our local, out-dated (pre-5.6) version:
There is no program that will reformat Perl as much as
Of course, if you simply follow the guidelines in the perlstyle manpage, you shouldn't need to reformat. The habit of formatting your code as you write it will help prevent bugs. Your editor can and should help you with this. The perl-mode for emacs can provide a remarkable amount of help with most (but not all) code, and even less programmable editors can provide significant assistance. If you are used to using vgrind program for printing out nice code to a laser printer, you can take a stab at this using http://www.perl.com/CPAN/doc/misc/tips/working.vgrind.entry, but the results are not particularly satisfying for sophisticated code.
