I always run my code through perltidy. It makes it look real professional (even if it isn't), as well as making it easier to read. Reading perl code in an editor that parses then highlights and colors also improves readability and presentation. Also I bought Perl Best Practices and in conjunction with perlcritic, it tends to standardize your style. However at one stage I became over zealous about meeting the criteria and after a while decided that some of the complaints issued weren't really worth worrying about. I hardly look at the book these days. -- Owen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
