Subject: 25.2; cperl-mode indentation after package BLOCKs
Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2017 00:37:00 -0400

Hello GNU Emacs developers,

I'm getting the following automatic indentation in cperl-mode for a
script containing more than one BLOCK:

    #!/usr/bin/env perl
    use warnings;
    use strict;

    package Foo {
      use Moose;
    }
      package Bar {
        use Moose;
      }

      # Local Variables:
      # mode: cperl
      # End:

Package BLOCKs were created in Perl 5.14 as an alternative syntax that
only applies the specified namespace to a BLOCK:

    https://www.perl.com/pub/2011/05/new-features-of-perl-514-package-block.html

Obviously the second package BLOCK in my opinion should be indented the
same as the first:

    package Foo {
      use Moose;
    }
    package Bar {
      use Moose;
    }

With opening braces on their own lines, auto-indentation becomes a
little bit weirder:

    #!/usr/bin/env perl
    use warnings;
    use strict;

    package Foo
      {
        use Moose;
      }
      package Bar
      {
        use Moose;
      }

      # Local Variables:
      # mode: cperl
      # End:

My present workaround is to append a ; to every package BLOCK:

    package Foo {
      use Moose;
    };

I've also discovered another workaround: change the value of
`cperl-continued-statement-offset' to 0.  That may help guide you to
what cperl-mode thinks is going on, as well as where to look for and/or
fix the problem.

Thanks,
Darren
