  • First, make sure that you have the latest cperl-mode. A lot of distributions don't include the latest one. Your file cperl-mode.el should be at least version 4.32. Find it on CPAN (I think). That fixes some problems with indentation.

    My indenting style is probably different than yours, but this from my ~/.emacs might at least give you some ideas:

    (custom-set-variables
       '(cperl-label-offset 0)
       '(cperl-indent-level 4)
       '(cperl-continued-statement-offset 2)
       '(cperl-tab-always-indent t)
       '(indent-tabs-mode nil))
       ;; let hashes indent normally
       '(cperl-indent-parens-as-block t)
       '(cperl-close-paren-offset -4)

    The only problem I have with that is that it indents every continued line by two from each previous line, rather than indenting all of them by two from the first line.
