Okay, you’re right. “perltidy” it is, then! :)

I just checked the packaging guidelines in the manual and couldn’t find
any statement on when to use “file-name”. It is only described in
section 5.1.2:
‘file-name’ (default: ‘#f’)
The file name under which the source code should be saved.
When this is ‘#f’, a sensible default value will be used in
most cases. In case the source is fetched from a URL, the
file name from the URL will be used. For version control
checkouts, it is recommended to provide the file name
explicitly because the default is not very descriptive.
I think the original name is descriptive enough as it actually contains
the name of the package.
So I think you can remove the “file-name” expression and push this.
