Sorry for the late response - I've been on a wedding this weekend.

Yes - I usually even copy paste it from the README as "perltidy -b -bl
-nsfs -naws -l=100 -ole=unix *.pl *.pm" (pasted once more) is hard to
remember and takes a while to type.

I just rechecked that applying my two patches vs. applying my two
patches + running the above perltidy command gives no difference (0 byte
patch).

I'm currently using (perl -v): "This is perl 5, version 14, subversion 1
(v5.14.1) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread"
and
(perltidy -v): "This is perltidy, v20101217"
But I've just recently upgraded to the latest Perl version.
The patch has been produced using some 5.12.? ActivePerl and it's
corresponding perltidy version which (whatever it was) obviously
produced the same result for me.
http://perltidy.sourceforge.net/ChangeLog.html#2010_12_17 doesn't seem
to have any Information which would explain our different patches.
Strange...
