Perltidy TODO List
This is a partial "wish-list" of features to add and things to do.
- Perltidy not idempotent
- Perltidy does a single pass but iterates locally to try to satisfy the
- various constraints and formatting parameters, but in some cases it can
- take a second pass to reach a stable format, particularly when major
- format style changes are made. It would be useful to have a flag to
- force a second pass, say --passes=2.
-
- For now, a workaround for a single file is
-
- perltidy file.pl -st | perltidy -o file.tdy
-
- The starting indentation level is not correctly guessed when tabs are used
- When formatting a snippet which does not begin at zero indentation,
- perltidy must guess the starting indentation. The -sil flag can be used
- to specify this, but this is tedious. In general we cannot know the
- indentation and can only guess, but we can at least require that if
- perltidy is run twice on the same snippet, with the same parameters,
- that the indentation be correctly guessed on the second pass. Currently,
- this is only true if there are no tabs in the leading whitespace. A
- patch has been submitted to fix this but it needs a little work still.

-b does not work through the Tidy module
The use of -b in the following does not work:
