The option -sbcp (--static-block-comment-prefix) seems to be ignored if
specified in the .perltidyrc file. My .perltidyrc file contains:
--logfile
--static-block-comments
--static-block-comment-prefix="^#{2,}[^\s#]"
Which means that the following code:
sub foo {
my ( $arg1, $arg2 ) = @_;
####################
#
# arguments: $arg1, $arg2
#
# return value: undef
#
####################
print "\$arg1 = $arg1\n";
print "\$arg2 = $arg2\n";
return;
}
should be reformatted to look like:
sub foo {
my ( $arg1, $arg2 ) = @_;
####################
#
# arguments: $arg1, $arg2
#
# return value: undef
#
####################
print "\$arg1 = $arg1\n";
print "\$arg2 = $arg2\n";
return;
}
as per the documentation on CPAN.
And this works when those options are specified from the command line
along with -npro to ignore the .perltidyrc file.
However, when the .perltidyrc file is used and the only command line
option specified is --DEBUG the log file shows that
--static-block-comment-prefix is ignored:
perltidy version 20101217 log file on a linux system,
OLD_PERL_VERSION=5.010001
Found Configuration File >>> .perltidyrc
Configuration and command line parameters for this run:
--logfile --static-block-comments -DEBUG
Note: I've also tried using single quotes around the value for the
option but that doesn't work either.
My Perl version is 5.10.1 and I'm on CentOS 6
