28 ;;; Commentary:
30 ;; To enter perl-mode automatically, add (autoload 'perl-mode "perl-mode")
31 ;; to your .emacs file and change the first line of your perl script to:
32 ;; #!/usr/bin/perl -- # -*-Perl-*-
33 ;; With arguments to perl:
34 ;; #!/usr/bin/perl -P- # -*-Perl-*-
35 ;; To handle files included with do 'filename.pl';, add something like
36 ;; (setq auto-mode-alist (append (list (cons "\\.pl\\'" 'perl-mode))
37 ;; auto-mode-alist))
38 ;; to your .emacs file; otherwise the .pl suffix defaults to prolog-mode.
40 ;; This code is based on the 18.53 version c-mode.el, with extensive
41 ;; rewriting. Most of the features of c-mode survived intact.
43 ;; I added a new feature which adds functionality to TAB; it is controlled
44 ;; by the variable perl-tab-to-comment. With it enabled, TAB does the
45 ;; first thing it can from the following list: change the indentation;
46 ;; move past leading white space; delete an empty comment; reindent a
47 ;; comment; move to end of line; create an empty comment; tell you that
48 ;; the line ends in a quoted string, or has a # which should be a \#.
50 ;; If your machine is slow, you may want to remove some of the bindings
51 ;; to perl-electric-terminator. I changed the indenting defaults to be
52 ;; what Larry Wall uses in perl/lib, but left in all the options.
54 ;; I also tuned a few things: comments and labels starting in column
55 ;; zero are left there by perl-indent-exp; perl-beginning-of-function
56 ;; goes back to the first open brace/paren in column zero, the open brace
57 ;; in 'sub ... {', or the equal sign in 'format ... ='; perl-indent-exp
58 ;; (meta-^q) indents from the current line through the close of the next
59 ;; brace/paren, so you don't need to start exactly at a brace or paren.
61 ;; It may be good style to put a set of redundant braces around your
62 ;; main program. This will let you reindent it with meta-^q.
64 ;; Known problems (these are all caused by limitations in the Emacs Lisp
65 ;; parsing routine (parse-partial-sexp), which was not designed for such
66 ;; a rich language; writing a more suitable parser would be a big job):
67 ;; 2) The globbing syntax <pattern> is not recognized, so special
68 ;; characters in the pattern string must be backslashed.
69 ;; 3) The << quoting operators are not recognized; see below.
70 ;; 5) To make '$' work correctly, $' is not recognized as a variable.
71 ;; Use "$'" or $POSTMATCH instead.
73 ;; If you don't use font-lock, additional problems will appear:
74 ;; 1) Regular expression delimiters do not act as quotes, so special
75 ;; characters such as `'"#:;[](){} may need to be backslashed
76 ;; in regular expressions and in both parts of s/// and tr///.
77 ;; 4) The q and qq quoting operators are not recognized; see below.
78 ;; 5) To make variables such a $' and $#array work, perl-mode treats
79 ;; $ just like backslash, so '$' is not treated correctly.
80 ;; 6) Unfortunately, treating $ like \ makes ${var} be treated as an
81 ;; unmatched }. See below.
82 ;; 7) When ' (quote) is used as a package name separator, perl-mode
83 ;; doesn't understand, and thinks it is seeing a quoted string.
85 ;; Here are some ugly tricks to bypass some of these problems: the perl
86 ;; expression /`/ (that's a back-tick) usually evaluates harmlessly,
87 ;; but will trick perl-mode into starting a quoted string, which
88 ;; can be ended with another /`/. Assuming you have no embedded
89 ;; back-ticks, this can used to help solve problem 3:
91 ;; /`/; $ugly = q?"'$?; /`/;
93 ;; The same trick can be used for problem 6 as in:
94 ;; /{/; while (<${glob_me}>)
95 ;; but a simpler solution is to add a space between the $ and the {:
96 ;; while (<$ {glob_me}>)
98 ;; Problem 7 is even worse, but this 'fix' does work :-(

557 Variables controlling indentation style:
558 `perl-tab-always-indent'
559 Non-nil means TAB in Perl mode should always indent the current line,
560 regardless of where in the line point is when the TAB command is used.
561 `perl-tab-to-comment'
562 Non-nil means that for lines which don't need indenting, TAB will
563 either delete an empty comment, indent an existing comment, move
564 to end-of-line, or if at end-of-line already, create a new comment.
565 `perl-nochange'
566 Lines starting with this regular expression are not auto-indented.
567 `perl-indent-level'
568 Indentation of Perl statements within surrounding block.
569 The surrounding block's indentation is the indentation
570 of the line on which the open-brace appears.
571 `perl-continued-statement-offset'
572 Extra indentation given to a substatement, such as the
573 then-clause of an if or body of a while.
574 `perl-continued-brace-offset'
575 Extra indentation given to a brace that starts a substatement.
576 This is in addition to `perl-continued-statement-offset'.
577 `perl-brace-offset'
578 Extra indentation for line if it starts with an open brace.
579 `perl-brace-imaginary-offset'
580 An open brace following other text is treated as if it were
581 this far to the right of the start of its line.
582 `perl-label-offset'
583 Extra indentation for line that is a label.
584 `perl-indent-continued-arguments'
585 Offset of argument lines relative to usual indentation.
587 Various indentation styles: K&R BSD BLK GNU LW
588 perl-indent-level 5 8 0 2 4
589 perl-continued-statement-offset 5 8 4 2 4
