  • But as time goes by I get less inclined to. POD gets written down after the __END__ and the module gets written up in learning order, but in the body of the code, stuff falls where it will (usually near to where it got extracted from) and etags claims its own.

    If I'm coding in Ruby, it goes 'public, protected, private' (and when I do sort perl methods, that's the kind of gradient I go with as well, even though perl doesn't make those distinctions.)

    • Same.  Between etags and imenu (*), I can find things quickly enough without putting them in any particular order.

      PS -- Thanks to use.perl's craptastic version of "HTML formatted," which doesn't allow PRE or some equivalent, the only way to post code seems to be to post the whole thing as "Code."

      (* with some help)

      (defun my-imenu-fixup (list)
        (mapcan (lambda (x) (if (consp (cdr x)) (my-imenu-fixup (cdr x)) (list x)))
                list))

        • Heh. I tried the standard HTML tags [w3.org] "PRE" and "CODE," but didn't think to add an "e." I assume the rationale is something like "it's better break our 'HTML formatted' by adding an 'e' to the tag name than to break it by rendering 'CODE' or 'PRE' in a way that differs from the standard." There are levels of suck to which the only appropriate response is to point and laugh.
