Ah, so you edited your perl-mode to not use the emacs default. I never did.

I was just letting you know where I picked up the "mix up space-indentation
and tab-indentation" from ;-)  I'm sure if you removed those lines, you
would then see why I use that "standard".

I've been doing it for so long on all my perl files, it's been engraved in
me to do it that way whenever I work on perl.
