This is for maximum portability to different people's
development environments and for decent transmission
through e-mail to a wide array of e-mail clients
(i.e. for patches).

Example: Eudora 3.0.6 wraps a solid, single line of 80 non-whitespace
characters (i.e. ######...#####) at character 76.  If there are
spaces in the line, it allows lines up to character 78 before wrapping
the last words down to the next line.  If sources have no more than
77 characters in a line, a "diff -u" patch will add a column, and the
lines will escape being folded.

=head2 Blank Space

No space before a semicolon that closes a statement.

    foo(@bar) ;     # wrong
    foo(@bar);      # right

Line up corresponding items vertically.

Use here-docs instead of repeated print statements.

        print <<EOT;
    This is a whole bunch of text.
    I like it.  I don't need to worry about messing
    with lots of print statements and lining them up.
    EOT

Just remember that unless you put single quotes around your here-doc
token (<<'EOT'), the text will be interpolated, so escape any "$" or "@"
as needed.
