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.
