It's not designed to automatically re-indent the current file.
Any new code you enter will be indented according to style, 
as well any line you press 'TAB' on. To set the particular
style, use cperl-set-style - my personal favourite is 'C++', 
even though it has problems with multi-line lists.

There's also 'perl-mode', which again will not automatically 
re-intent any of your buffer. It's a bit less colourful, but 
just as functional as 'cperl-mode'.

wrong word ... and it typed the right one. It was actually just 
detecting a sound and printing the expected word! -- pbhj on /.
