I looked into PBP and that's not what it says!
It recommends to Format cascaded ternary operators in columns and that's exactly what the -pbp switch does:
lanx@lanx-1005HA:~$ cat /tmp/tst.pl
my $var1 = $condition ? $val_for_true : $val_for_none ;
my $var2 = $condition ? $val_for_true : $condition2 ? $val_for_
+true2 : $val_for_none ;
lanx@lanx-1005HA:~$ perltidy -pbp /tmp/tst.pl
my $var1 = $condition ? $val_for_true : $val_for_none;
my $var2
= $condition ? $val_for_true
: $condition2 ? $val_for_true2
: $val_for_none;
I'd appreciate if you'd fix the typo in the title, provide links to documentation of the modules (like perltidy) and chapters (like "Ternaries") you are questioning.

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.
