Welcome to Perltidy!
    Perltidy is a tool to indent and reformat perl scripts.

    Perltidy is free software released under the GNU General Public License
    -- please see the included file "COPYING" for details.

    There are two source distribution files, a .tar.gz "tarball" and a zip
    file, .zip. The only difference is that the line endings have been
    changed from Unix-style <lf> in the .tar.gz to Windows-style <cr><lf> in
    the .zip version.

PREREQUISITES
    Perltidy should work under a standard distribution of Perl version 5.004
    or later. (You can find your version with "perl -v"). It may use these
    other modules if detected:

      Win32    will be used to help identify a Windows system if detected
      HTML::Entities  will be used to encode HTML entities if detected

    The following modules are not required, but they can be used to allow
    your own programs to avoid passing filenames to the perltidy main
    module:

      IO::Scalar
      IO::ScalarArray

    The total disk space needed after removing the installation directory
    will about 1 Mb. (If neccessary, this could be reduced to about 320k by
    using perltidy to squeeze itself down using -dac --mangle .)

INSTALLATION
    Please see the file INSTALL for installation information.

WHAT NEXT
    Please see the CHANGES file for notices of any recent updates.

    Please see the BUGS file for a list of all known open bugs.

    Documentation can be found in the docs directory, and it can also be
    found at http://perltidy.sourceforge.net

    Reading the brief tutorial should help you use perltidy effectively.

    Perltidy is still being developed, so please check sourceforge
    occasionally for updates if you find that it is useful. New releases are
    announced on freshmeat.net.

FEEDBACK / BUG REPORTS
    If you see ways to improve this document for the particular system on
    which you install perltidy, please let the me know so that it can be
    updated.

    Bug reports, comments and suggestions are welcome. Attach the smallest
    piece of code which demonstrates the bug or issue, plus a .LOG file if
    appropriate. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!

    Thank You
