+# This is a script which can try to fix a formatting problem which could have
+# been introduced by perltidy if certain versions of perltidy were run with the
+# particular parameter combination -scbb -csc.  
+
+# The problem occurred in versions 20200110, 20200619, and 20200822 when the
+# parameter combination -scbb -csc was used.  
+
+# This seems to be a fairly rare combination but could certainly happen.  The
+# problem was found during random testing of perltidy.  It is fixed in the latest
+# version.
+
+# What happened is that two consecutive lines which had closing braces
+# and side comments generated by the -csc parameter were missing a
+# separating newline.  So for example the following two lines:
+
+#   } ## end if (...
+# } ## end while (<STYLES>...
+
+# were actually combined like this:
+#   } ## end if (...} ## end while (<STYLES>...
+
+# If this happened to your script you could insert the line breaks by hand.  An
+# alternative is to run this script on the bad file. It runs as a filter and
+# looks for the special patterns and inserts the missing newlines.
+
+# This will probably work on a script which has just been run once with these
+# parameters. But it will probably not work if the script has been reformatted
+# with these parameters multiple times, or if iterations have been done.
+# Unfortunately in that case key comment information will have been lost.
+
+# The script can be modified if a special side comment prefix other than '##
+# end' was used.
+
+# usage:
+#   fix-scbb-csc-bug.pl <infile >ofile
+
+# This is what we are looking for: a closing brace followed by csc prefix
