in thread need advice: Perl code layout, long line lengths

yes, your example could be extreme, but it is IMO more readable then this code from Win32::TieRegistry
$Registry->Delimiter("/"); $tip18= $Registry->{"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/" . 'Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/Tips//18'};

When I wrote "break the line" I mean this type of splitting. Break my eyes if I read 200 lines of such code :-)

UPDATE: IMO your code is more readable because I read it in _one_ direction, from up to bottom, and not in Z-style.
