utils package and manually fixed some places where perltidy's
reformatting made it harder to read. the options used were--
-i=4 # 4-space indentation
-l=0 # unlimited line length (for now)
-pt=2 # slightly tightened parens
-ce # cuddled elses
-nolq # don't outdent long quotes
-nsfs # don't add spaces in front of semi-colons in for ( ) statements
-isbc # only indent block comments that have whitespace in front of them
-otr # don't place a break between a comma and an opening brace
the code will be refactored to make it possible to switch to using
80-column line-breaks without resorting to really nasty formatting
constructs.
