From my experience does cperl not attempt to format nested data structures
It shouldn't, but it does. As you suspect, CPerl mode mistakes the nested data structure as a control structure, which it reformats intentionally (see example here). It just takes a wrong turn in the function cperl-fix-line-spacing. Therefore, it is rather obvious that the issue doesn't occur with arrays: square brackets can't be confused with control structures.
If you want M-x cperl-indent-region and M-x cperl-indent-exp to do indentation and nothing else, set cperl-indent-region-fix-constructs to nil.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
