[Bioperl-l] added a perltidy profile file

[Dan Bolser]

Cheers Rob,

Whatever objectons may arise from style x or style y, I think it's a
great idea to at least have one style or another recognized as being
'standard'. I know TMTOWTDI, but on a project like this, with so many
contributors and users, it's essential to at least have a
recommendation. I'll try to use this on any contribs.

As you pointed out [1], its probably best to provide two patches for
any change involving a formating clean up: one to change the fomat to
the standard and one to commit the actual code changes.


All the best,
Dan.
