-1. I find 4 spaces more readable.

I usually start continuation lines below the matching element in the
line above, so they are usually indented more than 2 or 4 spaces, like
this:
$foo = Foo::Bar->gazonk(a - long,
line /
(with - many),
arguments);

Another way would be to use tabs for indent levels and additional spaces
for continuation lines. That way everybody can set the indentation to
whatever depth they like. The downside is that this requires people to
be disciplined about distinguishing between these cases and they need to
use an editor which doesn't mess with tabs.

Good idea.
