I looked at this again and it looks like it is the { that's causing the next
line to indent all the way to the opening brace. So since this
@list = ([
    $foo,
]);

and this ...

@list = ({[
    $foo,
]});

indents the way I like

I guess it would be only if a brace follows a
parenthesis but only if it's not followed
by any other bracket.

Currently indents like this:
@list = ([{
              foo => 'bar'
          }, 0, 1 ]);
                        
So, it's hard to read either way ... in this situation I would
use:
@list = (
    [ {foo => 'bar'}, 0, 1 ]
);

or

@list = ([ 
    { foo => 'bar'}, 0, 1 
]);

which currently works great.

My lisp is very basic.  Maybe one day I could try to look into it.  I really
do like the perl mode the way it is anyways. Now with my new perltidy
knowledge I'm happy.  I'm not entirely sure I want to indent this way
anyways.  I'll probably just go back to my original style.  Sorry for all
the commotion, I was just curious.

Thanks for all your help!
