It's a bit hard to tell just looking at the patch, but some of the
removal of leading whitespace looks a bit unfortunate (.e.g. genbki,
duplicate_oids). Maybe it would OK when applied. One thing I have
found is that string literals need to be broken up to less than the
line length or modern perltidy will happily realign them to the start
of the line regardless of other settings. I see what looks like some
evidence of that here.
