in reply to need advice: Perl code layout, long line lengths

That's the one I'd probably use, either by using some sort of join, or even writing a quick little module that handles those long paths .. I don't know how closely or loosely packed the destination locations are, but I expect many of the locations are close by and you could use some higher up node as a common starting point.
