Me too.

AFAICT there is no perltidy setting to add them where they are missing.
There is a perlcritic setting to detect them in lists, however. Here is
the output:

I'll take a look those. There doesn't seem to be a reliable one to
detect them in things other than lists (like anonymous hash and array
contructors using {} and []). There is one in the Pulp collection of
policies, but it doesn't seem to work very well.

But this is all a bit away from the original discussion.
