Summary
The -nst option disables -st which is enabled by -pbp, which causes the tidied code to be written to STDOUT instead of a a new file suffixed with
.tdy
. This means only one file can be tidied at a time, and the -st option is also incompatible with the -b option, which allows updating files in place, a workflow well suited for git.Instead of
perltidy lib/Some/File.pm > lib/SomeFile.pm.tdy
, now just doperltidy lib/Some/File.pm
and multiple files can be specified in one command.perltidy -b lib/Some/File.pm
will update the file(s) in place and create lib/Some/File.pm.bak.perltidy -b -bext=/ lib/Some/File.pm
will update the file(s) in place and delete the backup file(s) as long as there were no errors.Motivation
To make it easier for contributors to run perltidy on their contributions.
