- added new flag -it=n or --iterations=n
This flag causes perltidy to do n complete iterations.
For most purposes the default of n=1 should be satisfactory. However n=2
can be useful when a major style change is being made, or when code is being
beautified on check-in to a source code control system. The run time will be
approximately proportional to n, and it should seldom be necessary to use a
value greater than n=2. Thanks to Jonathan Swartz
- A configuration file pathname begins with three dots, e.g.
".../.perltidyrc", indicates that the file should be searched for starting
in the current directory and working upwards. This makes it easier to have
multiple projects each with their own .perltidyrc in their root directories.
Thanks to Jonathan Swartz for this patch.
- Added flag --notidy which disables all formatting and causes the input to be
copied unchanged. This can be useful in conjunction with hierarchical
F<.perltidyrc> files to prevent unwanted tidying.
Thanks to Jonathan Swartz for this patch.
- Added prefilters and postfilters in the call to the Tidy.pm module.
Prefilters and postfilters. The prefilter is a code reference that
will be applied to the source before tidying, and the postfilter
is a code reference to the result before outputting.
Thanks to Jonathan Swartz for this patch. He writes:
This is useful for all manner of customizations. For example, I use
it to convert the 'method' keyword to 'sub' so that perltidy will work for
Method::Signature::Simple code:
Perl::Tidy::perltidy(
prefilter => sub { $_ = $_[0]; s/^method (.*)/sub $1 \#__METHOD/gm; return $_ },
postfilter => sub { $_ = $_[0]; s/^sub (.*?)\s* \#__METHOD/method $1/gm; return $_ }
);
- The starting indentation level of sections of code entabbed with -et=n
is correctly guessed if it was also produced with the same -et=n flag. This
keeps the indentation stable on repeated formatting passes within an editor.
Thanks to Sam Kington and Glenn.
- Functions with prototype '&' had a space between the function and opening
peren. This space now only occurs if the flag --space-function-paren (-sfp)
is set. Thanks to Zrajm Akfohg.
- Patch to never put spaces around a bare word in braces beginning with ^ as in:
my $before = ${^PREMATCH};
even if requested with the -bt=0 flag because any spaces cause a syntax error in perl.
Thanks to Fabrice Dulanoy.
to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.10.1 -> 5.12.1.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=..."), minus the packages updated after
the perl package update.
sno@ was right after all, obache@ kindly asked and he@ led the
way. Thanks!
- Updating Perl-Tidy from 20071205 to 20090616
- Setting license to gnu-gpl-v2

- Allow configuration file to be 'perltidy.ini' for Windows systems.
i.e. C:\Documents and Settings\User\perltidy.ini
and added documentation for setting configuation file under Windows in man
page. Thanks to Stuart Clark.
- Corrected problem of unwanted semicolons in hash ref within given/when code.
Thanks to Nelo Onyiah.
- added new flag -cscb or --closing-side-comments-balanced
When using closing-side-comments, and the closing-side-comment-maximum-text
limit is exceeded, then the comment text must be truncated. Previous
versions of perltidy terminate with three dots, and this can still be
achieved with -ncscb:
perltidy -csc -ncscb
} ## end foreach my $foo (sort { $b cmp $a ...
However this causes a problem with older editors which cannot recognize
comments or are not configured to doso because they cannot "bounce" around in
the text correctly. The B<-cscb> flag tries to help them by
appending appropriate terminal balancing structure:
perltidy -csc -cscb
} ## end foreach my $foo (sort { $b cmp $a ... })
Since there is much to be gained and little to be lost by doing this,
the default is B<-cscb>. Use B<-ncscb> if you do not want this.
Thanks to Daniel Becker for suggesting this option.
- After an isolated closing eval block the continuation indentation will be
removed so that the braces line up more like other blocks. Thanks to Yves Orton.
OLD:
eval {
#STUFF;
1; # return true
}
or do {
#handle error
};
NEW:
eval {
#STUFF;
1; # return true
} or do {
#handle error
};
-A new flag -asbl (or --opening-anonymous-sub-brace-on-new-line) has
been added to put the opening brace of anonymous sub's on a new line,
as in the following snippet:
my $code = sub
{
my $arg = shift;
return $arg->(@_);
};
This was not possible before because the -sbl flag only applies to named
subs. Thanks to Benjamin Krupp.
-Fix tokenization bug with the following snippet
print 'hi' if { x => 1, }->{x};
which resulted in a semicolon being added after the comma. The workaround
was to use -nasc, but this is no longer necessary. Thanks to Brian Duggan.
-Fixed problem in which an incorrect error message could be triggered
by the (unusual) combination of parameters -lp -i=0 -l=2 -ci=0 for
example. Thanks to Richard Jelinek.
-A new flag --keep-old-blank-lines=n has been added to
give more control over the treatment of old blank lines in
a script. The manual has been revised to discuss the new
flag and clarify the treatment of old blank lines. Thanks
to Oliver Schaefer.
Fixes PR#39557.

-Improved support for perl 5.10: New quote modifier 'p', new
block type UNITCHECK, new keyword break, improved formatting
kof given/when.
-Corrected tokenization bug of something like $var{-q}.
-Numerous minor formatting improvements.
-Corrected list of operators controlled by -baao -bbao to include
. : ? && || and or err xor
-Corrected very minor error in log file involving incorrect comment
regarding need for upper case of labels.
-Fixed problem where perltidy could run for a very long time
when given certain non-perl text files.
-Line breaks in un-parenthesized lists now try to follow
line breaks in the input file rather than trying to fill
lines. This usually works better, but if this causes
trouble you can use -iob to ignore any old line breaks.
Example for the following input snippet:
print
"conformability (Not the same dimension)\n",
"\t", $have, " is ", text_unit($hu), "\n",
"\t", $want, " is ", text_unit($wu), "\n",
;
OLD:
print "conformability (Not the same dimension)\n", "\t", $have, " is ",
text_unit($hu), "\n", "\t", $want, " is ", text_unit($wu), "\n",;
NEW:
print "conformability (Not the same dimension)\n",
"\t", $have, " is ", text_unit($hu), "\n",
"\t", $want, " is ", text_unit($wu), "\n",
;

-Added -fpsc option (--fixed-position-side-comment). Thanks
to Ueli Hugenschmidt. For example -fpsc=40 tells perltidy to
put side comments in column 40 if possible.
-Added -bbao and -baao options (--break-before-all-operators
and --break-after-all-operators) to simplify command lines
and configuration files. These define an initial preference
for breaking at operators which can be modified with -wba and
-wbb flags. For example to break before all operators except
an = one could use --bbao -wba='=' rather than listing every
single perl operator (except =) on a -wbb flag.
-Added -kis option (--keep-interior-semicolons). Use the B<-kis> flag
to prevent breaking at a semicolon if there was no break there in the
input file. To illustrate, consider the following input lines:
dbmclose(%verb_delim); undef %verb_delim;
dbmclose(%expanded); undef %expanded;
dbmclose(%global); undef %global;
Normally these would be broken into six lines, but
perltidy -kis gives:
dbmclose(%verb_delim); undef %verb_delim;
dbmclose(%expanded); undef %expanded;
dbmclose(%global); undef %global;
-Improved formatting of complex ternary statements, with indentation
of nested statements.
OLD:
return defined( $cw->{Selected} )
? (wantarray)
? @{ $cw->{Selected} }
: $cw->{Selected}[0]
: undef;
NEW:
return defined( $cw->{Selected} )
? (wantarray)
? @{ $cw->{Selected} }
: $cw->{Selected}[0]
: undef;
-Text following un-parenthesized if/unless/while/until statements get a
full level of indentation. Suggested by Jeff Armstorng and others.
OLD:
return $ship->chargeWeapons("phaser-canon")
if $encounter->description eq 'klingon'
and $ship->firepower >= $encounter->firepower
and $location->status ne 'neutral';
NEW:
return $ship->chargeWeapons("phaser-canon")
if $encounter->description eq 'klingon'
and $ship->firepower >= $encounter->firepower
and $location->status ne 'neutral';

-Fixed bug where #line directives were being indented. Thanks to
Philippe Bruhat.

-Fixed problem where an extra blank line was added after an =cut when either
(a) the =cut started (not stopped) a POD section, or (b) -mbl > 1.
Thanks to J. Robert Ray and Bill Moseley.
module directory has changed (eg. "darwin-2level" vs.
"darwin-thread-multi-2level").
binary packages of perl modules need to be distinguishable between
being built against threaded perl and unthreaded perl, so bump the
PKGREVISION of all perl module packages and introduce
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED for perl as perl>=5.8.5nb5 so the correct
dependencies are registered and the binary packages are distinct.
