Try the abbrev-mode. Here is the sample code that you can stick in an .emacs file, which enables the abbrev-mode and sets up some global abbreviations:
(abbrev-mode 1)
(define-abbrev-table 'global-abbrev-table '(
("dbg" "use Data::Dumper qw( Dumper );^Mwarn Dumper[];^[hi" nil 1)
))
I found that it is better to add a hook to the preferred editing made, to enable abbreviation mode, like:
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook (lambda () (abbrev-mode 1)))
This enables the abbreviation mode while editing text files. Also you can enbale the abbrev mode by typing: M-x abbrev-mode
For the pre-fab documents, try using auto-insert. This mode can work on the file extensions, this link

For tab stops etc, use cperl-mode.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
