[Za-pm] Re: Perl Source Code Formatter

[Spike]

In vi (or at least in vim) you can select visual mode <esc.> v    blockmark 
your code and then type an = sign - and it will do quite a good job of 
formatting the whole lot.

To make it pretty in vi I would also suggest that you use (or put in your 
.vimrc file) :-

set expandtab   (makes tabs real spaces so it still looks cool in other 
editors)
set sw=3          (sets the shift width)
set ts =3           (sets the tab to 3 spaces)

With the ts and sw set to the default the code  goes of the side of the 
screen after a few nested ifs!

Try set syntax=perl too. The perl syntax highlighting is not had for HTML etc.
