% perl flag_compress.pl  
           sideways |ompressed
             up |lse | deleted
          down |            bar |
                           | that

Hmm. Looks quite strange. But I like the idea to try to keep all annotations on the same line and if that is not possible create a new line:

    flags1 => 0b0100110000100000101000000000100000000000000101000000000000001111;
#                | compressed   | other     | and another  |foo             | up
#                   | deleted                                | bar           | down 
#                    | this       | something else                            | charm
#                         | that                                               | strange

Thanks!

Update

Downloaded the code via wget using the download link. Output looks a lot better after converting from DOS to UNIX file format.
