I bind a key to perltidy and forget all about formatting apart from  
that. I use something like this:

dir=`dirname $TM_FILEPATH`
up=''

for i in 1 2 3 4 5 ; do
	try="${dir}${up}/perltidyrc"
	[ -f $try ] && break;
	try="${dir}${up}/.perltidyrc"
	[ -f $try ] && break;
	up="$up/.."
done

if [ -f $try ] ; then
	perltidy -st -q -pro=$try "$TM_FILEPATH"
else
	perltidy -st -q "$TM_FILEPATH"
fi

So that if I'm working on a project that has its own perltidyrc  
or .perltidyrc I use that otherwise my default settings.
