Good Day Ipp-archive,

One of the great pleasures in life is soaking in a hot bath, especially when your muscles and joints hurt. But if you have an injury or other physical challenge, climbing into a tub can be painful or even impossible.

Limited mobility for any reason can make it even hazardous to get in and out of a typical tub.

The safe and therapeutic way for you to soak:

Appy has five suggestions for homeowners who want to make their homes safer  none require a new product, but all call for simple practices that you'd be wise to make a habit of. 

 Test those smoke alarms, and do so monthly from now on. Create and practice an emergency fire escape plan with your family. The majority of deaths from home fires are from smoke inhalation, so early warning and evacuation are critical. 

Walk through your home and identify places where trips and falls are likelyloose rugs and wires, poorly lit staircases, and clutter on the floor are common culprits. Remember that falls are the leading cause of injuries at home; taking time to eliminate hazards will go a long way to making your family safer, especially if your household includes children or older adults.

 Be honest about how safe your children are from poisoning. Are all your medications out of reach, or in a locked cabinet? Are household chemicals and cleaners inaccessible to children? Is the Poison Control hot line number posted conspicuously near your telephone?

Evaluate your kitchen habits. Do you always stay in the room while the stove is on? Do you remember to turn pot handles to the back of the stove? Do you keep hot beverages and dishes off tablecloths, so that children can't pull them down and scald themselves? Safe practices in the kitchen could go a long way to preventing some of the quarter-million injuries from burns and scalds each year. 

Today I was in a Webex meeting showing my screen with some Perl code I wrote. My boss suddenly told me while everyone else was looking and hearing that I had to remove trailing commas from my hash and array structures because it is a bad practice. I said I didn't think that was a bad practice in Perl, but he insisted and made me delete those commas just to show my script running in the meeting.

I still think it's not a bad practice in Perl, but I can be wrong. I actually find them pretty convenient and a good practice because they prevent me from adding new elements and forgetting to add the corresponding comma in the process.

But, I'd really like to know if it's a good or bad practice and be able to show it my boss (if he's wrong) with good arguments and even good sources for my arguments.

So, is it a bad practice to leave trailing commas?

This is an example:

my $hash_ref = {
    key1    => 'a',
    key2    => 'b',
    key3    => 'c',
};

my $array_ref = [
    1,
    2,
    3,
];

Whenever you create a list or an array, always add a comma after the last item. The reason for doing this is that it's highly probable that new items will be appended to the end of the list in the future. If the comma is missing and this isn't noticed, there will be an error.

What your manager may have been thinking of is that doing the same thing in C is non-standard and non-portable, however there is no excuse for his extraordinary behaviour.

I favor leading commas, though I know its rather unpopular and seems to irritate the dyslexic. I also haven't been able to find a perltidy option for it. It fixes the line-change-diff problem as well (except for the first line, but that's not usually the one being changed in my experience), and I adore the way the commas line up in neat columns. It also works in languages that are white-space agnostic but don't like trailing commas on lists quite neatly. I think I learned this pattern while working with javascript...

Code is most readable when most of it is written in the same manner, so when going from one segment of code one can keep parsing with the same mental patterns and keep up a good reading speed. Your code is different from the vast bulk of code (CPAN) out there and thus slows people down when reading. If your company has a large bulk of code like that, by all means, maintain consistency and keep it like that, but when interacting with the rest of the world, please be considerate and adapt your coding style to the majority. (There is no need to facetously accuse people of having real illnesses.)
