I don't think I've ever gotten perltidy to do what I want.  I'm also not 
looking forward to having a "we needed to run perltidy" discontinuity 
in `svn blame` -- does '-w' work for that or is there some way around 
that?

Or maybe I just need a better tool for tracing the history -- since 
refactoring into the ::Utils is going to introduce similar data loss?

BTW, the emacs/vim lines at the start of the file should be an indicator 
as to how things are intended to be, but I'm not sure we ever even got 
emacs to pay any attention to them, let alone textmate or notepad or 
whatever.

With the perltidyrc I have thus far managed to hate least, it looks like 
about a 5k patch.  Which is smaller than the 7k from schwern's, so I'll 
check this in while you all discuss it and then I guess mess with 
actually applying some patches or something.

And first to bump the version number.  At least, I think we should be 
bumping it first thing post-release such that any changes will appear 
in the META.yml, etc.
