in thread Emacs CPerl mode electric parentheses: get extra space in there?

Let me be the first to say "ick."

You're the first! ;)

By the way, I don't like the extra spaces everywhere. For example, "$foo{bar}" and "$baz[1]" need no extra spaces. However, things like "if ( -e $file ) ..." look better to me with that extra space. More visual separatation I guess.

    To me, it's uber-yuck on the level of putting spaces *before* commas. That said, I should also say something useful: download snippet.el. It's much better than cperl's electric mode, with a simple syntax to defined your own abbreviations, e.g. here.
