See the help for default-tab-width, it's for buffers that don't
override it.

Tabs are controlled in java-mode by c-basic-offset (as in C)
Have a look at c-indent-command (C-h f c-indent-command).
In perl-mode, it's controlled by perl-indent-level if I remember
well. I actually never changed those myself, maybe it messes up with
the indent style, dunno...

It is :-)
Good luck
