Bug #39070 for Perl-Tidy: Control number of blanks before

Sun Sep 07 15:01:39 2008 mschwern [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

Control number of blanks before

I like to put 2 blank lines before my subroutines, to make them stand out even more than just the one blank line between normal blocks. It would be nice if there was a way to tell perltidy to do this. Thanks.

FWIW I found I can set --maximum-consecutive-blank-lines=2 to at least keep perltidy from stripping my formatting out. -- Defender of Lexical Encapsulation
