  perltidy -csc -cscb

  } ## end foreach my $foo (sort { $b cmp $a ... })

 Since there is much to be gained and little to be lost by doing this,
 the default is B<-cscb>.  Use B<-ncscb> if you do not want this.

 Thanks to Daniel Becker for suggesting this option.

- After an isolated closing eval block the continuation indentation will be
  removed so that the braces line up more like other blocks.  Thanks to Yves Orton.

OLD:
   eval {
       #STUFF;
       1;    # return true
     }  
     or do {
       #handle error
     };

NEW:
   eval {
       #STUFF;
       1;    # return true
   } or do {
       #handle error
   };

-A new flag -asbl (or --opening-anonymous-sub-brace-on-new-line) has
 been added to put the opening brace of anonymous sub's on a new line,
 as in the following snippet:

   my $code = sub
   {
       my $arg = shift;
       return $arg->(@_);
   };

 This was not possible before because the -sbl flag only applies to named
 subs. Thanks to Benjamin Krupp.

-Fix tokenization bug with the following snippet
  print 'hi' if { x => 1, }->{x};
 which resulted in a semicolon being added after the comma.  The workaround
 was to use -nasc, but this is no longer necessary.  Thanks to Brian Duggan. 

-Fixed problem in which an incorrect error message could be triggered
by the (unusual) combination of parameters  -lp -i=0 -l=2 -ci=0 for
example.  Thanks to Richard Jelinek.

-A new flag --keep-old-blank-lines=n has been added to
give more control over the treatment of old blank lines in
a script.  The manual has been revised to discuss the new
flag and clarify the treatment of old blank lines.  Thanks
to Oliver Schaefer.

<h2>2007 12 05</h2>

<pre><code>-Improved support for perl 5.10: New quote modifier 'p', new block type UNITCHECK, 
new keyword break, improved formatting of given/when.

-Corrected tokenization bug of something like $var{-q}.

-Numerous minor formatting improvements.

-Corrected list of operators controlled by -baao -bbao to include
  . : ? &amp;&amp; || and or err xor

-Corrected very minor error in log file involving incorrect comment
regarding need for upper case of labels.  

-Fixed problem where perltidy could run for a very long time
when given certain non-perl text files.

-Line breaks in un-parenthesized lists now try to follow
line breaks in the input file rather than trying to fill
lines.  This usually works better, but if this causes
trouble you can use -iob to ignore any old line breaks.
Example for the following input snippet:

   print
   "conformability (Not the same dimension)\n",
   "\t", $have, " is ", text_unit($hu), "\n",
   "\t", $want, " is ", text_unit($wu), "\n",
   ;

 OLD:
   print "conformability (Not the same dimension)\n", "\t", $have, " is ",
     text_unit($hu), "\n", "\t", $want, " is ", text_unit($wu), "\n",;

 NEW:
   print "conformability (Not the same dimension)\n",
     "\t", $have, " is ", text_unit($hu), "\n",
     "\t", $want, " is ", text_unit($wu), "\n",
     ;
</code></pre>

<h2>2007 08 01</h2>

<pre><code>-Added -fpsc option (--fixed-position-side-comment). Thanks to Ueli Hugenschmidt. 
For example -fpsc=40 tells perltidy to put side comments in column 40
if possible.  

-Added -bbao and -baao options (--break-before-all-operators and
--break-after-all-operators) to simplify command lines and configuration
files.  These define an initial preference for breaking at operators which can
be modified with -wba and -wbb flags.  For example to break before all operators
except an = one could use --bbao -wba='=' rather than listing every
single perl operator (except =) on a -wbb flag.

-Added -kis option (--keep-interior-semicolons).  Use the B&lt;-kis&gt; flag
to prevent breaking at a semicolon if there was no break there in the
input file.  To illustrate, consider the following input lines:

   dbmclose(%verb_delim); undef %verb_delim;
   dbmclose(%expanded); undef %expanded;
   dbmclose(%global); undef %global;

Normally these would be broken into six lines, but
