Item8290: perl build.pl tidy does not handle special charaters

When I run perl build.pl tidy on Kino Search, the special characters used in some of the tests get corrupted, leaving syntactically incorrect perl.

This needs to get reported upstream against Perl::Tidy::perltidy, which is what BuildContrib uses. A detailed testcase is required; what characters?

For characters that perltidy does not handle correctly, you can use the following comments to force it to skip those lines:

#<<<  do not let perltidy touch this
    my @list = (1,
                1, 1,
                1, 2, 1,
                1, 3, 3, 1,
                1, 4, 6, 4, 1,);
 #>>>
