Best use
Use it for a focused Perl Formatter task when a quick browser workbench is appropriate.
Perl Code Formatter
Format Perl snippets with a copy-ready formatter workbench and copy-ready output for review.
Use cases and limits
Perl Formatter: Use this formatter for quick cleanup, review, examples, documentation, and copy-ready snippets. The formatter is heuristic rather than a full compiler parser, so review generated formatting before production use.
Usage boundaries and result checks
Perl Formatter is for this task: Format Perl snippets for quick review. It runs in the browser; start with a short, non-sensitive sample and confirm the behavior before processing more data.
Input
source code or markup snippets
Output
formatted text or a compact representation
Before reuse
For Perl Formatter: Run the result through the target parser, linter, compiler, or test suite; readable formatting does not prove semantic correctness. See the test method.
