Re: Formatting Perl code with Emacs (solved?)

[LanX]

setting cperl-indent-parens-as-block to 1 seems to solve this now! =)

M-x customize-option :

Cperl Indent Parens As Block: Hide Value Toggle  on (non-nil)
   State: SAVED and set.
   Non-nil means that non-block ()-, {}- and []-groups are indented as
+ blocks, Hide Rest   
   but for trailing "," inside the group, which won't increase indenta
+tion.
   One should tune up `cperl-close-paren-offset' as well.
Groups: Cperl Indentation Details

please note that \%Options must be in the next line since all arguments are aligned.

sub _get_options  {
  Getopt::Long::Configure('gnu_getopt');

  return Getopt::Long::GetOptions(
    \%Options,
    qw(
        version|V
        debug
     )
   );
}

HTH! =)

update

you may want to experiment with

Cperl Close Paren Offset: Hide Value -2
   State: SET for current session only.
   Extra indent for substatements that start with close-parenthesis.

sub _get_options  {
  Getopt::Long::Configure('gnu_getopt');

  return Getopt::Long::GetOptions(
    \%Options,
    qw(
        version|V
        debug
    ),
  );

}

all options available per GUI via M-x customize-group cperl-indentation-details

or via mouse-menu

untabified my samples b/c of display problems in code -blocks

Thanks, I've tried to redefine these variables, but my code didn't look like I want to.

(setq-default cperl-indent-parens-as-block t) and (setq-default cperl-close-paren-offset -2) help to reindent parentheses, but why have we got 4 spaces inside the qw() block then cperl-indent-level was set to 2?

Don't know ... can't see a problem...

But well if you don't like it, better continue using VIM ... :)
