 Perltidy TODO List
-    This is a "wish-list" of features to add and things to do. All of these
-    are of interest, but there is no particular schedule for implementing
-    them.
+    This is a partial "wish-list" of features to add and things to do. For
+    the latest list of bugs and feature requests at CPAN see:
 
-  Improved Vertical Alignment
-    There are many opportunities for improving vertical alignment.
-
-  improved ?: formatting
-    An indentation level should be associated with ?: statements. This will
-    make nested ?: statements more readable.

-  Recursive file processing
-    A -r flag might be nice.
+  Improved Vertical Alignment

+Things which have been suggested but will not be done
+  Recursive file processing
+    A -r flag might be nice, but this is best handled by an exterior shell

+  Make perltidy support the syntax of module XXX
+    This generally won't be done unless the module is part of the core perl
+    distribution because it is such an open-ended problem. Compounding the
+    problem is the fact that perltidy often is invoked within an editor on
+    small snippets of code, so it must to work correctly without seeing any
+    particular 'use xxx' statement. Therefore, any syntax changes that
+    conflict with standard Perl syntax can't easily be handled.
+
+    However, an effort is being made to make perltidy generally more
+    tolerant of extensions to perl syntax. Also, the pre- and post-filter
+    capabilities of the Tidy.pm module may help.
