Re: Automate perltidy for PM code?

As soon as something like this will be done on PM, I will immediately stop posting code. I see this as an infringement on my personal artistic expressions layed out in the code I write. You can interpret that as a signature. If someone changes the code I wrote to something else without my permission, I see that as theft.

If you think layout and style are bad, just use your vote to express that.

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

Like Google Groups habit of "massaging" both subjects and text bodies of posts, which makes for great discomfort to those used to a real newsreader...	[reply]

Again, I think you are reacting to only one of the options (re code tags) which I agree with further thought would be no good and the code tags should be left alone for just the reasons you say. But I did also suggest that there are other options to choose from - it for example not being intrusive to have perltidy tags at the disposal of authors to use or not as they please. __________________________________________________________________________________ ^M Free your mind!
