Changing tab-width is asking for trouble. Its normal meaning, agreed upon
by all programs is that the width of a TAB is 8, no more no less. If you
change it, it'll mess something up at some point.
Changing default-tab-width is even worse.
At least do
(add-hook 'cperl-mode-hook (lambda () (setq tab-width 4)))
so it's only fucked up in your cperl mode and not in the rest.
