I don't think there would be a Emacs/Perl tutorial as such. I don't use Emacs myself, but I would probably recommend you to read a general tutorial about Emacs and then to take a look at Perl-specific Emacs extensions.

After some googling I have found these links, that might interest you:

• A list of emacs-lisp modules that are related to Perl programming
• EmacsWiki on cperl-mode

<shameless_plug>If you want to consider using the all-powerful vim editor, you can find an excellent article by TVSET on using it with perl: Vim for Perl developers</shameless_plug>

But if you have your heart set on Emacs (Don't get me wrong: Emacs is a great operating system---it lacks a good editor, though.) (sorry couldn't resist), then a quick Super Search for "emacs" came up with the following (I only breezed through about 70% of the DB, so you may do well to search all the way through the results):

• Perl mode for GNU Emacs
• Perl and Emacs
• Learning Emacs
• Taking the emacs plunge

None of these links is an actual "EMACS/Perl Tutorial" as you requested, but you might find some useful links/info.

I don't know of a good tutorial, but here's some general hints.

The two EMACS modes for editing Perl are perl-mode and cperl-mode. Unfortunately, they both fail to parse Perl correctly sometimes. Still, they're better than nothing; cperl-mode has some pretty convenient features, like accessing POD documentation directly from EMACS, and is better documented (use the Perl menu and select Microdocs). I usually switch back and forth between the two modes as I get sick of the bugs in one or the other.

The indenting they use is similar to the indenting that c-mode uses; you may want to read through the documentation for that, too.

What did you want to know?

To answer your question - probably not. Why would someone write an editor-dependent Perl tutorial? (or, more likely, in this case, a language-dependent emacs tutorial ;). What would be so special about writing Perl using emacs?

Update: Nevermind.
