And the script: 
#!/usr/bin/perl 
       
use strict;
use warnings;

my $file = shift @ARGV;
open STDOUT, '>', '/root/Desktop/squish.log';

use PPI;
use Perl::Squish;

my $Document = PPI::Document->new($file);
$Document->prune('PPI::Token::Comment');
$Document->prune( sub {
    my $Braces = $_[1];
    $Braces->isa('PPI::Structure::List')        or return '';
    $Braces->children == 0                      or return '';
    my $Method = $Braces->sprevious_sibling     or return '';
    $Method->isa('PPI::Token::Word')            or return '';
    $Method->content !~ /:/                     or return '';
    my $Operator = $Method->sprevious_sibling   or return '';
    $Operator->isa('PPI::Token::Operator')      or return '';
    $Operator->content eq '->'                  or return '';
    return 1;
    } );
my $Normal = $Document->normalized(2);
print $Document;
