I just tried gedit, it looks like the default settings are OK (Tab Stops ยป
"Tab width" = 8 and "Insert spaces instead of tabs" is not checked).  You
might want to install the "Draw spaces" plugin as well, it will visualize
the tabs and spaces for you.   Look to the CodingStyle document [1] for
more info.

Please also tell me how the pearl script indicates whitespace?

It's perl [2], not pearl.   The script doesn't indicate whitespace.  It
takes a file as an input, tries to clean it up, and spits it out to stdout.

Cheers,
