That doesn't really help here since you can't insert at the top safely.

The style has been called The Perlish Coding Style. Accoding to that document, the following would be the proper alignment:

{ my @array = ( 'Hibbs'
              , 'Daglish'
              , 'Schwartz'
              , 'Vroom'    )

; my $string = 'this is a very long string that has a certain number '
             . $number
             . ' of segments.'
             . "\n"
}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
