Behavior and limits

Format perl source with the optional local formatter service. Perl::Tidy parses Perl source without executing submitted code. The page shows the receiving URL and sends only after you click Format. Start the included service or use your own deployment; a running service is required even when the page is saved offline.

Example input

sub greet{my($name)=@_;print "Hello $name\n";}
greet("Ada");

Expected behavior for the example

Returns formatted source from the displayed service, or a clear connection/setup error.

Check important output in the application that will consume it. Use the tool directory to find related formats and tasks.
