Try using cperl-mode, rather than perl-mode.  It's a much
improved perl mode.  It certainly handles the case you mention
fine in my emacs version.

You can always to C-q TAB to insert a literal tab.  Depending on
programming modes, you have to find the relevant variable to get
them not to do syntax-driven indentaton.

M-x customize-variable RET tab-stop-list RET

If you change this and then save your changes, tab-stop-list
will be set.
