Welcome to Perltidy!
Perltidy is a tool to indent and reformat perl scripts. It can also
write scripts in html format.
Perltidy is free software released under the GNU General Public License
-- please see the included file "COPYING" for details.
PREREQUISITES
An effort has been made to keep "perltidy" compatable with versions of
Perl as old as 5.004. This release was tested on Perl version
5.004_04 under linux. (You can find your version with "perl -v").
However, some systems this old may have problems with installation
scripts. If you run into installation difficulties, don't give up,
try the alternative installation method described in the INSTALL file.
The following modules are not required, but perltidy may use them if
detected:
HTML::Entities will be used to encode HTML entities if detected
Pod::Html will be used to format pod text
The total disk space needed after removing the installation directory
will about 2 Mb.
DOWNLOAD
There are two source distribution files:
* A .tgz "tarball", with Unix-style <lf> line endings, and
* A zip file, .zip, with Windows-style <cr><lf> line endings.
In addition, the web site has links to debian and RPM packages.
INSTALLATION
For most standard installations, the standard Makefile.PL method should
work:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
The INSTALL file has additional installation notes, and tells how to use
perltidy without doing an installation.
