#----------------  PBP options, as listed on page 35 of PBP  ----------------
##-l=78   # Max line width is 78 cols
-i=4    # Indent level is 4 cols
-ci=4   # Continuation indent is 4 cols
-vt=2   # Maximal vertical tightness
-cti=0  # No extra indentation for closing brackets
-pt=1   # Medium parenthesis tightness
-sbt=1  # Medium square bracket tightness
-bt=1   # Medium brace tightness (for non-code blocks)
-bbt=1  # Medium block brace tightness (for code blocks)
-nsfs   # No space before semicolons
-nolq   # Don't outdent long quoted strings
        # Break before all operators:
-wbb="% + - * / x != == >= <= =~ < > | & **= += *= &= <<= &&= -= /= |= >>= ||= .= %= ^= x="
# Note that the PBP book has a typo on page 35 when defining the above -wbb
# option, see http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/errata.csp?isbn=9780596001735
# The above string is correct.

#----------  Perltidy default options (i.e. in line with PBP)  --------------
-asc    # Add any missing optional semicolon at the end of a line
-aws    # Add certain whitespace to improve code readability
-tqw    # Default handling of multi-line 'qw' quotes
-ibc    # Indent block comments to same level as the code
-msc=4  # Minimum 4 spaces between code and same-line comments
-fpsc=0 # Don't try to line up all comments to a fixed column
-hsc    # Align hanging side comments
-sbc    # Enable static block comments
-nssc   # No special handling for static side comments
-dnl    # Delete old newlines
-bbc    # Ensure a blank line before every full-line comment
-bbs    # Ensure a blank line before every sub definition (except one-liners)
-bbb    # Ensure a blank line before code blocks (for, while, if, ....)
-lbl=8  # Minimum number of lines between each -bbb inserted blank line

#-------------  Additional options, based on PBP recommendations  ------------
-bar    # K&R style code braces
-nolc   # Long comments indented, even when this make the total line length "too long"
-noll   # Long lines indented, even when this make the total line length "too long"
-nola   # Don't treat labels as special cases when indenting

#----------  Options concerning Perltidy's input and ouput files  -----------
##-nst    # Do NOT output to STDOUT (since we want to use -b)
##-b      # Backup the input file to .bak and perform all tidying in the original file
##-se     # Write errors to STDERR
##-ple    # Preserve the EOL character(s). E.g. in case Perltidy runs
##        # on Windows, but processes a Perl file for Unix (and vice versa)

#-----------  Some other Perltidy options, intentionally not used   ----------
# The following Perltidy options are NOT consistent with PBP and should NOT be used:
# -lp, -icb, -fws, -nwls, -nwrs, -sfp, -sak/-nsak, -csc/dcsc, -fnl,
# -ce, -bl, -sbl, -bli, -blil, -bbvt, -otr, -sct, -boc, -kis,
# -pbp (because the -wbb list typo in the PBP book carried over to Perltidy (!))
# The following Perltidy options are not used, for other reasons:
# -sot, -mft, -cab, -bol, -bok/-nbok, -bot/-nbot, -iob, -isbc
