Modifying this to output Data::Dumper stuff (good idea) would be straight-forward.
Here's my attempt. I'd be very grateful if someone who knows Emacs could actually try it.
(defun perl-dbg (name)
"Insert a debugging print statement"
(insert "use Data::Dumper qw( Dumper );\nwarn Dumper [ ]\n")
(search-backward "[ ")
I'm not sure what document templates are for.
The idea is that you hit a key, and the editor pastes in a template from another file.
Any suggestions for how to do that would be greatly appreciated.
For indenting, I have this inside (custom-set-variables):
I'm guessing:
'(cperl-close-paren-offset -4)
Outdent 4 columns on a closing paren?
'(cperl-continued-statement-offset 2)
Indent 2 columns when a statement wraps?
'(cperl-indent-level 4)
Indent four columns per indentation level?
'(cperl-indent-parens-as-block t)
Indent parens like blocks?
'(cperl-label-offset 0)
Put labels in the zeroth column?
'(cperl-tab-always-indent t)
Convert tabs to spaces?
Could someone knowledgeable confirm (or correct) those guesses?

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).
