On ZZamboni's request, this is the emacs code you will need to print a postscript copy of your pretty-printed perl code (in file "perl-indent-ps.el"): 

(cperl-mode)
(indent-region 0 (buffer-size)  nil)
(save-buffer)
(ps-print-buffer (cond (command-line-args-left 
                        (car command-line-args-left))
                       (t nil)))

(Sorry about the peculiar indentation, fellow LISPers, but the formatter here makes it necessary to do something like this.)

You have to call emacs like this to make it work: 

> emacs -batch try.pl -l .emacs -l perl-indent-ps.el try.ps

If you omit the last argument in the preceding command line, your postscript will be send to the printer (at least this is what my emacs docs say, I could not test this since there is no printer hooked up to the server I currently work on).
