Use emacs in batch mode.
With this emacs lisp code in file "perl-indent.el":
(cperl-mode)
(indent-region 0 (buffer-size) nil)
(save-buffer)
And this emacs command line call:
> emacs -batch try.pl -l .emacs -l perl-indent.el
This file "try.pl":
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
for (1) { print "emacs rules"; }
while (1) { print " ... at least in viper mode\n"; }
turns into:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
for (1) {
print "emacs rules";
}
while (1) {
print " ... at least in viper mode\n";
}
The call to the ".emacs" initialization file is necessary
since emacs won't load it per default in batch mode, and
you want your personal indentation preferences to be used, of course.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
