No space before the semicolon
我看不出有什么理由.我知道在英文之前,不应该有两个字符之间的空格(如“？”,“;”,“！”),但是我不明白为什么在编写Perl代码时应该是一个规则.
我承认我个人在分号前使用空格.我的理由是使声明更加清晰.我知道这不是一个很强的理由,但至少这是一个原因.
print "Something\n with : some ; chars"; # good print "Something\n with : some ; chars" ; # bad??
第二个坏的原因是什么？
解决方法
Each programmer will,of course,have his or her own preferences in regards to formatting,but there are some general guidelines that will make your programs easier to read,understand,and maintain.
并从描述部分的第三段：
Regarding aesthetics of code lay out,about the only thing Larry cares strongly about is that the closing curly bracket of a multi-line BLOCK should line up with the keyword that started the construct. Beyond that,he has other preferences that aren’t so strong:
Perl程序员的风格只是一个惯例.如果你不喜欢它,你可以选择忽略它.我会比较Sun’s Java Style guidelines或the suggestions for indenting in the K&R C book.有些环境有自己的指导.这些恰恰恰好是Perl的建议.
作为Jon Skeet said in a deleted answer这个问题：
If you’re happy to be inconsistent with what some other people like,then just write in the most readable form for you. If you’re likely to be sharing your code with others – and particularly if they’ll be contributing code too – then it’s worth trying to agree some consistent style.
