Well, if you're using = for indentation, then what about gg=G (gg:move
to line 1; ={motion}: indent whatever the cursor moves over; G:move to
last line)?
I don't use Perl, but I suppose that you have "filetype plugin indent
on" in your vimrc (or that it sources the vimrc_example.vim), and that
the Perl indent script sets the right options for = to work.
