Would mean any brace/square bracket immediately following a round one should
be indented to the Perl_Indent instead of the parenthesis?

Eg, 
@list = ([{
 ...
}]);

@list = ([{
    foo => 'bar'
}, 0, 1 ]);

Maybe you can take a look at how the cperl mode is doing it and (provided
you can decipher the lisp) we can see about adding into the jed mode.

Then you'll be glad to know that the perltidy binding also works on regions.
Perltidy, and other useful functions (perldoc, perl_exec, etc.) are in
perlxtra, which allows you to bind them to the global keymap if desired or
invoke them via M-x for any mode.
This can useful, for example, if you have Perl code embedded within a shell
script and need to re-indent the Perl section.

I mostly just let perltidy take charge.

No, I didn't mean prototyping the functions, just having their declarations
seen before their invocation.
