i keep electric bouncing on. and i use a balanced paren move to find
unbalanced pairs on the rare conditions when i need to.

  HP> my @ar = ( "one",
  HP>            "two".
  HP>            "three",
  HP>            "four",

  HP>            "twenty"
  HP>         );

  HP>                 four
  HP>                 [...]
  HP>                 twenty
  HP>           );

then you need better glasses. :) you have all those noisy quotes and
commas to scan and skip. qw was added for that reason, lists of tokens
are very common.
