Long line in perl script Subra 02-22-2008

 Hi ,

I have very long line in perl script. I need to break it into
multiple lines. Some thing like below.

Present Code :-

if ($settings->-
> || $settings->->) {

New code should be:
if ($settings-
>-> ||

$settings->->) {


Is there any special character like in C (\) which I should put at the
end of the broken line ????

As this script is suppose to run in many platforms so this info is
very imp for me.

thanks,
Subra...

Looks weird to me. How about:

if (
$settings->->
||
$settings->->
) {

s/perl beautify/perltidy/ perhaps ... ?

eg, perltidy output:

if ( $settings->->
|| $settings->-> )
{
