I bought this over the weekend and started reading it. So far, very nice!! Of course, I've only read thru chapter 2, having read chapter 9 online earlier. :)

One minor annoyance is that the suggested .pertidyrc file is not included in the source packet from O'Reilly.

Also, the -wbb option in the .pertidyrc looks a bit... odd. >= is there twice, as is <, unless I'm reading it wrong.

Ah, looking at the perltidy perldocs, looks like this is just an artifact of copying the perldoc's "break after" list into the "break before" list. So it's an inherited bug, if it's a bug...

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.
