| Subject: | Perl::Tidy destroys symlinks when -b is used |
When using the -b option Perl::Tidy does not resolve the symlink, but
simply opens the file, tidies it and overwrites the symlink with the
tidied contents.
There are some workarounds on Perlmonks*, but this can still catch users
unaware and silently destroy data or process flows.
