I'm interested to know what people think is a good default indentation for the following input:
my @headings = (
{key => 'k', name => 'Kanji', class => 'kanji'},
{key => 'skip', name => 'SKIP', class => 'skip-code'},
{key => 'co', name => 'Suggestion', class => 'skip-code'},
{key => 'disc', name => 'Discussion'},
);
Emacs' cperl-mode in its default setting (as run with emacs -Q) indents the above as follows:
my @headings = (
{
key => 'k', name => 'Kanji', class => 'kanji'},
{
key => 'skip', name => 'SKIP', class => 'skip-code'},
{
key => 'co', name => 'Suggestion', class => 'skip-code'},
{
key => 'disc', name => 'Discussion'},
);
I think most people would agree that this is a little eccentric. I'm trying to set up a better default, but what indentations do people actually use for these types of things?

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).
