Bug#998367: perlcritic: "Code not tidy' after perltidy

[Felix Lechner]

Package: libperl-critic-perl
Severity: normal

Hi,

Perlcritic does not appear to use the latest version of perltidy, or
perhaps invokes it with different settings. In unstable, perlcritic
complains that files are not tidy even though perltidy just ran over
them.

Due to the large number of contributors to Lintian, Lintian's
testsuite enforces a project-wide style in Salsa CI (but not in Deb
CI). Your help would be very much appreciated.

I also mentioned it briefly on the Perl team's mailing list [1] but
have not received any replies yet. Thanks!

Kind regards
Felix Lechner
