I'm starting to work on an addition to Perl::Tidy called Perl::Style.
Unlike Perl::Tidy this is based on PPI, and is able to change more
than whitespace.
For example, normalising $foo->{bar}{baz} to $foo->{bar}->{baz} or
remove superflous braces from ->method() or doing more targetted
whitespace tweaking where perltidy can't handle it.
The problem with solving problems with policy documents is that they
are implemented in parallel in unstable wetware processors.
Inevitably nobody will bother or remember to follow documentation for
something as mundane as code format (unless you are as important as
the Linux Kernel or something)
