auto indenting

auto indenting

[bpatton]

I mostly do perl code, some c and cshell

I like to have things lined up.  The auto indent is good, but I would
like to extend the function of the tab key.

I have this code

my $a = undef;
my $bcd = undef;
my $someLongVariableName = undef;

I prefer to have all my ='s to line up.  The little bit of time it
takes
for me to line them up, I believe more than pays for it's self in
maintance

I would like to have the tab to the auto indenting, but I would also
like to have it insert 2 spaces each it cannot do auto indenting.

my $a                                   = undef;
my $bcd                               = undef;
my $someLongVariableName = undef;

A tip for you to align those '='s is the command align-regexp.
Just in case you didn't knew!
