Why?

As far as I can tell, Perl does not use Python/Elisp "indents
are all whitespace" rule and neither does the script.

It also happens that I do not personally believe in "alignment
with spaces" argument.  If you accept W and a SP occupy the same
horizontal space (which "alignment with spaces" assume), I do
not think it is unreasonable to accept HT goes to the next
column that is multiple of 8 places.
