I'm having the same problem as Steve mentioned and I also noticed that 
sometimes it seems to work. Most importantly, I get the staircase effect 
inside a sub, but not outside.
Example:

my $s = "this"
    . " string"
    . " is"
    . " long";

sub bus {
    my $s = "this"
        . " string"
            . " goes on"
                . " and on";
}
