I would put cursor over each of those variables I have above and type
'C-h v'. Read the docs on that var and set it how you like.
Once you have them to your liking install a hook in your init file to
set all those whenever perl mode is loaded. Mine looks like this:
(defun my-perl-mode-hook ()
(setq perl-indent-level 0)
(setq perl-brace-offset 4)
(setq perl-tab-always-indent nil))
(add-hook 'perl-mode-hook 'my-perl-mode-hook)
