Some perl projects carried by teams, use perltidy as pre-commit hook. It's not as cool as talk about newer languages, but it handles all you may need about code indenting and alignment. And about tabs and about spaces. Today somebody was asking in planet Debian, about Haskell vertical code alignment... well, again, perltidy has an option to enable/disable that. I've developed many years without using it... recently I discovered it in first person, now I cannot live without it :) has options even for vertical alignment of indented comments. I enjoy seeing it in action, after an hour or two of coding $anything. It finds always more inconsistencies than I did expect. And I really _try_ to be consistent.
