In this case, it's kinda true because the adjusted version doesn't work
because the argument is required, so:


(defun my-perltidy-replace (arg)
  "This function replaces the contents of the current buffer with
the output of perltidy, and makes a backup of the current buffer.

Before and after modifications to contents of buffers are being
made, all buffers that need to be auto-saved are being
auto-saved.

The major-mode of the buffer containing the backup is set to
'cperl-mode'.

The argument ARG is unused."
