in reply to Formatting Perl code with Emacs

That's a long known issue which can only be solved by patching cperl-mode.

I identified the necessary changes in a discussion in "gnu emacs help" some years ago and Ilya welcomed any patches...¹

Don't know if recent versions already solved this...

HTH ! =)

    Thank you!

    I've read Indenting Perl later and tried to customize Emacs with cperl-* variables, but it doesn't help.

    So, I have to continue using Vim for coding, because I need a tool, not the master...
