You may want to consider using another tool - Data::Printer is currently my favorite. Many years ago, almost a decade ago, I became frustrated with Data::Dumper and used Data::Dumper::PerlTidy when it first was released to CPAN. Since then, I have utilized a number of other modules that I will not list at this time. Data::Printer has been around for quite a while and is well supported. If you need need is formatting only, then its function p() and np() will likely cover your needs.
