 Perltidy open BUGS
-     You can help perltidy evolve into a better program.  If you think you
-     have hit a bug or weird behavior, or have a suggested improvement,
-     please send a note to perltidy at users.sourceforge.net.

-  A here-doc invoked through an 'e' modifier on a pattern replacement text is not recognized
-    For example, the output of perltidy for this script has a syntax error:
-
-            my $text="Hello World!\n";
-            $text =~ s@Hello@<<'END'@e;
-            Goodbye 
-            Cruel
-            END
-            print "$text\n";
-
-    A workaround is to put the here-doc in a temporary string and then do
-    the substitution:
-
-            my $text="Hello World!\n";
-            my $str=<<'END';
-            Goodbye 
-            Cruel
-            END
-            $text =~ s@Hello@$str@e;
-            print "$text\n";

-  The --extrude option can occasionally produce code with syntax errors
+  The --extrude option can produce code with syntax errors
     The --extrude tries to put as many newlines in the formatted code as
-    possible. This option is of limited use for formatting, but it has been
-    helpful for debugging purposes. Occasionally it will produce code which
-    Perl considers to have a syntax error. These problems usually involve
-    code where Perl is having to guess the tokenization. For example,
-    --extrude will currently cause a syntax error in the following line:
-
-     utime $inc+0 ? ($mtime, $ntime) : ($atime, $atime), $file;
+    possible. This option is very useful for testing perltidy but not for
+    actual formatting. Occasionally it will produce code which Perl
+    considers to have a syntax error. These problems usually involve code
+    where Perl is having to guess the tokenization based on whitespace.
+    Since the --extrude option is typically only used for testing perltidy,
+    this type of error should not normally occur in practice.
