I'm not sure I understand, isn't that just a shell-command-on-region command after a mark-whole-buffer ° ?

Thanks, especially (cperl-indent-parens-as-block . t) fixed a longstanding issue I had.

It would be nice tho to have a split screen scenario for experimentation.

Like with code on one side and "live" config on the other side, where every change is temporarily activated and demonstrated in the other screen. When happy you just save the config buffer to a file.

Hmm ... probably could be done with a macro already ...

I'm getting this result now when formatting, but neither my emacs nor my cperl-mode is the newest, and probably other configs are jinxed too...

for my $x (@x) {
      my %h = (
            'truncate' => {
                  'desc'  => 'shorten a file',
                  'usage' => [
                        'truncate FILEHANDLE,LENGTH',
                        'truncate EXPR,LENGTH',
                    ]
              },
        );
  };

°) I'm pretty sure such code was included in PBP.

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.
