A loop
Here is a script named lextest.t
copied from the perlop(1) man
page and compacted to hide the structure:
$_= <<'EOL';
$url = new URI::URL "http://www/"; die if $url eq "xXx";
EOL
LOOP:{print(" digits"),redo LOOP if/\G\d+\b[,.;]?\s*/gc;print(" lowercase"),
redo LOOP if/\G[a-z]+\b[,.;]?\s*/gc;print(" UPPERCASE"),redo LOOP
if/\G[A-Z]+\b[,.;]?\s*/gc;print(" Capitalized"),
redo LOOP if/\G[A-Z][a-z]+\b[,.;]?\s*/gc;
print(" MiXeD"),redo LOOP if/\G[A-Za-z]+\b[,.;]?\s*/gc;print(
" alphanumeric"),redo LOOP if/\G[A-Za-z0-9]+\b[,.;]?\s*/gc;print(" line-noise"
),redo LOOP if/\G[^A-Za-z0-9]+/gc;print". That's all!\n";}
The command perltidy lextest.t
produces a file
named lextest.t.tdy
with this result:
$_ = <<'EOL';
$url = new URI::URL "http://www/"; die if $url eq "xXx";
EOL
LOOP: {
print(" digits"), redo LOOP if /\G\d+\b[,.;]?\s*/gc;
print(" lowercase"), redo LOOP if /\G[a-z]+\b[,.;]?\s*/gc;
print(" UPPERCASE"), redo LOOP if /\G[A-Z]+\b[,.;]?\s*/gc;
print(" Capitalized"), redo LOOP if /\G[A-Z][a-z]+\b[,.;]?\s*/gc;
print(" MiXeD"), redo LOOP if /\G[A-Za-z]+\b[,.;]?\s*/gc;
print(" alphanumeric"), redo LOOP if /\G[A-Za-z0-9]+\b[,.;]?\s*/gc;
print(" line-noise"), redo LOOP if /\G[^A-Za-z0-9]+/gc;
print ". That's all!\n";
}
Notice how perltidy has done some nice vertical alignment here.
