You know that there are quite a number of options to fine-tune these
kinds of things for syntax-directed folding, right?  For example, look
at 'foldnestmax', which is (again) precisely what you want.

OK, two things:

1.  Why Perl as an example?

2.  Yes, but we¡Çre not discussing Perl.

Finally, I use foldmethod=marker by default, but I don¡Çt use them quite
like you do.  I like markers for exact folding.  Computers have a hard
time getting these things right, but as far as I can tell, they can do
precisely what you want correctly,
