You might want to look at other editors that already do this.
    (perhaps vim, elvis, and emacs )
Also look at perltidy, and maybe B::Deparse

Look at B::Lint


The B:: modules use perl to parse the perl into intermediate code,
and then extract information from the compiled code.

There are quite a few B:: modules

    B::Asmdata       B::CC.3            B::Flags.3         B::Terse.3
    B::Assembler     B::Concise.3       B::Lint.3          B::Xref.3
    B::Bblock        B::Debug.3         B::Showlex.3
    B::Bytecode      B::Deparse.3       B::Stackobj.3
    B::C             B::Disassembler.3  B::Stash.3
