@jhthorsen I think it would be helpful for users if you created a 'CONTRIBUTING' file in your repository -- this will be shown to users when they create a pull request. In it you can put your guidelines for creating good patches, such as how to run perltidy using the config file you have created -- as this requirement is not presently made known to people before they submit and it catches them by surprise.
I think this is a very good idea, but since time is limited, then I can only make an issue now.

Help is more than welcome.
