If I'm given a perl script (I'm using this as an example since it's an 
especially tricky thing to parse from what I understand), and it's not at all 
indented, can perl automatically indent it for me?  Ideally, this would include 
things like datastructures, but it seems in my attempts, that that's where 
parsing/indenting fails.

I'm using the '=' command for indentation.

Thank you!

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.
