NAME

Perl6::Tidy - Tidy Perl 6 source code according to your guidelines

SYNOPSIS

bin/perl6-tidy

Indents code to match simple tab style (mine in this case).

Choices of tab style include:
    'tab' (aka 1-true-brace-style or k-n-r)
    'Allman'
    'GNU'
    'Whitesmiths'
    'Horstmann'
    'Pico'
    'Ratliff'
    'Lisp'

# This *will* execute phasers such as BEGIN in your existing code.
# This may constitute a security hole, at least until the author figures
# out how to truly make the Perl 6 grammar standalone.

DESCRIPTION

Uses Perl6::Parser to parse your source into a Perl 6 data structure, then walks the data structure and prints it according to your format guidelines.

Indentation

Just as a reminder, here are quasi-formal names for common indentation styles.

'tab' - "One True Brace Style", "K&R":

while (x == y) {
    something();
    somethingelse();
}

Allman:

while (x == y)
{
    something();
    somethingelse();
}

GNU:

while (x == y)
{
    something();
    somethingelse();
}

Whitesmiths:

while (x == y)
  {
    something();
    somethingelse();
  }

Horstmann

while (x == y)
{   something();
    somethingelse();
}

Pico

while (x == y)
{   something();
    somethingelse(); }

Ratliff

while (x == y) {
    something();
    somethingelse();
    }

Lisp

while (x == y) {
    something();
    somethingelse(); }
