This has been driving me batty, but I can't figure out how to get the following to remain unchanged after running perltidy.

my %hash = ( 
    some_long_key => {
        INCLUDE_PATH => __PACKAGE__->path_to('www/templates/tt')
    }
);

For a more extreme example, what about this:

my $process = Background->new($^X, "-I$lib",
                              "-MMyLong:Namespace::Bar::Bat",
                              "-e 1", "other", "arguments", "here");
[download]

Our perltidyrc at work is turning that into this:

my $process = Background->new( $^X, "-I$lib", "-MMyLong:Namespace::Bar
+::Bat",
    "-e 1", "other", "arguments", "here" );
[download]

That's pretty darned ugly. I'd much rather have this:

my $process = Background->new(
    $^X,    "-I$lib", "-MMyLong:Namespace::Bar::Bat",
    "-e 1", "other",  "arguments", "here",
);
[download]

Or even this:

my $process = Background->new(
    $^X,
    "-I$lib",
    "-MMyLong:Namespace::Bar::Bat",
    "-e 1",
    "other",
    "arguments",
    "here",
);
[download]

Is there some .perltidyrc configuration which will manage those? (Particularly the "my %hash" example). I'm on the verge of giving up on Perl::Tidy. Of course, if there's anything other than this module which you can suggest, I'm all ears.
