I use an editor (Komodo) which supports external pretty printers for various file types and comes with perltidy already hooked up. I have tuned perltidy to match the way I tend to write Perl code so most of the time I run it it doesn't change a lot, but if I am refactoring code perltidy is invaluable for quickly fixing indentation and wrapping lines nicely.
If you use a configurable editor and let us know what you are using. It may be that someone may be able to help you hook up perltidy to your editor. For Komodo see the 'Formatters' section of the Preferences dialog (Edit|Preferences menu entry).
True laziness is hard work

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).
