By default Emacs places TABs wherever it can when indenting lines. So all you need to do is to make sure that it can always use TABs. Since a TAB has a width corresponding to 8 characters, it means that you should configure your major mode (in this case cperl-mode) to align everything on multiples of 8. I.e. start by setting cperl-indent-level to 8. Stefan
