cindent seems to work just fine with most perl syntax, not sure whether you use 
the au commands to determine if the file just been opened is perl or not but I 
use the following in my ~/.vimrc
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.pl setlocal cindent

seems to work just fine, although I do need to workout how to get it to use the 
correct tabbing distance. (it still uses 8 when I have it set to 4)
