printf formatting in Perl

printf formatting in Perl

[Steve Bickerton]

Hi All,

	I'm afraid I'm being a bit picky here, but I'd like to find a way to 
change the indentation used by emacs for the printf command in a Perl 
script.  When I use a printf statement which is longer than the line 
length, I'd prefer to put it on several lines, but subsequent lines 
don't come out indented with respect to the printf.

An example:

Example 1 (doesn't indent subsequent lines):

     printf STDOUT "This string fills a lot of the line: %.3f %.3f\n",
     $var1, $var2;


I've found a work-around by concatenating part of the string onto the 
subsequent line, like this:

Example 2 (does indent subsequent lines):

     printf STDOUT "This string fills a lot of the line: %.3f %.3f".
	"\n", $var1, $var2;


The indentation in example 2 is what I'm looking for, but without 
needing to concatenate.  Suggestions?

regards,
steve
