I try and avoid thinking about it! Actually what I do is run things through perltidy and live with the results. For instance, the code:
if ($a or $b or $c or $d or $e or $f or $g or $h or $i or $j or $k or
+$l or $m or $n) {
}
when run through perltidy comes out like:
if ( $a
or $b
or $c
or $d
or $e
or $f
or $g
or $h
or $i
or $j
or $k
or $l
or $m
or $n )
{
}
Skipping lightly over endless arguments about just where the "damn curly brace" should go gives me extra time to realize that the silly thing is missing or the like!

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).
