in reply to The One True Style of indentation:

I use tabs for indention, but not for other line-ups! Example. (I'll use > for tab and * for space where needed.) 
my %hash = (
>>>>foo***** = 1,
>>>>whoopass = 2,
>>>>that**** = 3,
>>>>foobar** = 4,
);

This way people can change tab-stop to whatever they feel like, and still keeping formatting; only changing how much it's indented from the left-most border.

    Wow. Are those four-tab indents? :) 

    - Yes, I reinvent wheels.

      Heh, no. I forsaw that reply, but was lazy and couldn't find a good phrase, and hoped people would realize that I meant "I'll use > as a filler for tab, and * as a filler for space". I'd seen it in some vim configurations so I figured it would be intuitive for at least some readers.

      Must editor's tab stop is set to 4, hence the four >s. I admit, it was a bit ambiguous. :)

      Cheers.
