The Perl scripts are mind-bending to me. I suspect it's whatever
you're most used to (I've spent WAY too much time in template world by
now). But I'd love to hear any suggestions on how to make things
easier for others.

I think the main problem with that is HTML::Template::Pro's extremely odd syntax and very limited capabilities (which, despite their professed reasons, do _not_ make the templates parsable by a XML/HTML parser or validatable with a DTD except for simple cases). That is a whole other tangent, though.

As far as tabs/spaces go, the de facto standard that I know of is 4 spaces per indent level. This seems to be reflected in the code, and I think we should put it on http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:codingguidelines .
