  • The one I use attempts to mark the current function if you haven't explicitly marked anything. Otherwise, it runs it over the whole file (not sure why).
    (defun perltidy ()
      "Run perltidy on the current region or buffer."
      (interactive)
      (save-excursion
        (unless mark-active (mark-defun))
        (shell-command-on-region (point) (mark) "perltidy -q" nil t)))

    -Dom

  • Yes... but that's in the README. I think the most useful part of the thing is that it's a minor mode so it can be automatic but it did also include just the plain "perltidy this region or the entire buffer" code.

    It also goes to a little bit of trouble to fix things if you don't have a perltidy binary but have called it anyway.
