[Chicago-talk] perl pretty-printing tools?

[Leland Johnson]

I use VIM for syntax highlighting when I have to print something out.
If you popup the perl-syntax help-page (":help perl-syntax" in normal
mode) it has a few options to make the syntax highlighting more
accurate and highlight pod. Other than that, there's not much you can
do to make it work any better, at least in vim.

On a similar note, I use perltidy from CPAN to make all my files
uniform when I'm editing them. It makes tab-stops, bracket &
parenthesis syntax all the same. I've only used it once on my code,
when I wanted the project I started learning perl with to actually
look reasonable, after not knowing how to make perl look nice and
screwing with tab-stops in VIM.
