Hello, I'm struggling with configuring emacs to indent perl code according to the coding standards at my job. I had been trying to set the indentation variables and recently found the CC mode manual which makes it clear that I will probably have to write my own indentation methods.
I'm not especially good at ELisp, and I'm not an ELisp hacker, so I'd like some guidance before I embark on this. I'm working with the CPerl module, which has some problems but is pretty good (and is light years ahead of the basic perl-mode). NOTE-- I am not saying that I like these indentation methods, but they are the ones everyone else has agreed on so I need to try to use them. I'd like indented code to look like this: $a = some_method_name( $a, $b, ); another_method_that_takes_a_hash ( 'foo' => 'bar', 'black' => 'white', ); Whereas currently those indent like this: $a = some_method_name( $a, $b ); another_method_that takes_a_hash ( 'foo' => 'bar', 'black' => 'white', ); As I understand it, when I hit TAB on each line, emacs figures out what to tag that line as (i.e. "arglist-cont-nonempty") and then calls the appropriate indentation function. If I can figure out which tags these lines have, I can start experimenting with using various methods to try to get them to behave properly. Things I'd like to find out include: 1. Has someone else already done this? 2. How are these examples tagged by the lexer? 3. Which indentation methods get called on each line? I have been using the CC Manual's section on advanced indentation (http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/emacs/cc-mode_33.html) but I am mostly lost and not really sure how these lines are being handled. Furthermore since I'm not very good at ELisp I have not had much luck writing methods to determine which parts are getting called where. Any input would be appreciated. Please cc: me in any reply since I'm not currently subscribed to this list. Also, if there is a more appropriate place to post this, let me know.
