This seems to get closed to the required output:
Updated: Corrected fencepost-ish error.
Update2: Added a second pass to condense it a bit.
#! perl -slw use strict; ( my $input = do{ local $/; <DATA> } ) =~ tr[\n][]d; my $tab = 0; $input =~ s[([()])]{ $tab-- if $1 eq ')'; my $modified = "\n" . ( " " x $tab ) . $1; $tab++ if $1 eq '('; $modified; }ge; $input =~ s[\n\s+\)][)]g; print $input; __DATA__ (&(&(&(& (mailnickname=*) (| (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=use +r)(!(homeM DB=*))(!(msExchHomeServerName=*)))(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClas +s=user)(| (homeMDB=*)(msExchHomeServerName=*)))(&(objectCategory=person)(objectC +lass=cont act))(objectCategory=group)(objectCategory=publicFolder)(objectCategor +y=msExchD ynamicDistributionList) )))(objectCategory=contact)(proxyAddresses=smt +p:*exampl e.com)))
Yields:
