I find that perltidy (http://perltidy.sourceforge.net/) is a great help in
formatting perl code.
With this map:
map <leader>p mz:%!perltidy -q<CR>'z
I don't worry about getting the formatting perfect as I type, as it is easily
cleaned up with this command. Also it is highly recommended that you tweak
your .perltidyrc to your liking.
