Perltidy didn't make code *changes*, but it was known - in now very old versions
- to occasionally break code it didn't parse correctly.  Test cases for such
situations were few and far between; but I understand that the perltidy
developers and testers are a) confident such issues don't arise anymore and b)
very eager to find out if they're wrong about that.  ;)

All the very best,
