Puppet users - Oct 2011 - perltidy workalike to tidy up Puppet manifests

There''s a wonderful tool called "perltidy" that can clean up
Perl
scripts, enforcing certain style guidelines by default but allowing
lots of customization.

Does Puppet have a tool like perltidy to enforce a certain style in
Puppet manifests?  I don''t see any mention of such a tool at
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/style_guide

Thanks,

Phil

p.s. Below is an example of perltidy in action, but there are more at
http://perltidy.sourceforge.net .  Various configuration options such
as "Cuddled Else", "Define Horizontal Tightness", etc. are
explained
at http://perltidy.sourceforge.net/stylekey.html

[pdurbin@beamish bin]$ cat print_binary_numbers.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use  strict; use warnings;
use Time::HiRes   qw( sleep )  ;
  for  (my $i = 0; $i < 10; $i++   )
 {
     sleep .1 ;
    printf ("%10b %3d\n", $i,
    $i);
}
[pdurbin@beamish bin]$ perltidy print_binary_numbers.pl
[pdurbin@beamish bin]$ cat print_binary_numbers.pl.tdy
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Time::HiRes qw( sleep );
for ( my $i = 0 ; $i < 10 ; $i++ ) {
    sleep .1;
    printf( "%10b %3d\n", $i, $i );
}
[pdurbin@beamish bin]$

Ah, unlike perltidy, puppet-lint doesn''t re-write your code. 
It''s a
reporting tool, so you are left to go and make the recommended changes
yourself.  That said, puppet-lint is *very* useful and I could see it
being a great help in detecting ugly Puppet code.  It''s a huge step up
from simply using `puppet --parseonly` to check the syntax.

Also, within minutes of me opening an issue, the developer (Tim
Sharpe) replied, which is a great sign.

Thanks!
