Perl Style: From Perlstyle (part 2)

Jan 1, 1998 by Tom Christiansen

• No space between function name and its opening parenthesis.
• Space after each comma.
• Long lines broken after an operator (except `and’ and `or’).
• Space after last parenthesis matching on current line.
• Line up corresponding items vertically.
• Omit redundant punctuation as long as clarity doesn’t suffer.
• Use here documents instead of repeated print() statements.
• Line up corresponding things vertically, especially if it’d be too long to fit on one line anyway.
