Subject: bug#11733: 24.1; cperl indentation bugs

From: Vincent Lefevre <[email-masked]>

The indentation in CPerl mode is buggy on sub, even with the default
configuration (emacs -Q). Open the following file:

----------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env perl
# -*- mode: cperl -*-

sub foo
  {
  }

sub bar
  {
  }
----------------------------------------

and hit the [TAB] key over the "sub bar" line. This line is indented
by 2 columns instead of being left on the first column. More generally
this happens on all subs except the first one.

[TAB] on the '{' of sub bar (line 9 of the script) gives a 4-column
indentation instead of 2, but this may be a consequence of the above
problem.

Other indentation bugs:

----------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env perl
# -*- mode: cperl -*-

while (<>)
  {
    m:^  \d+ p:
      or die;
    m:^  \d+ :
      or die;
  }
----------------------------------------

[TAB] on "or die;" gives:
  * a 4-column indentation instead of 6 for the 1st one,
  * a 8-column indentation instead of 6 for the 2nd one.

Note: my old Debian bug report about these indentation bugs:
