I bet only Akim's patches are following this style, because he
uses cperl-mode (which default to this), while perl-mode users
are using the other 'approximation'.

I do neither use XEmacs nor cperl-mode, the following comment
might help anyway:

 1. when I load cperl-mode, the GNU style is the default
 2. with perl-mode I can get a similar behavior with
      (setq perl-indent-level 2
            perl-continued-brace-offset 0
            perl-continued-statement-offset 2)

[Tom, maybe 2. is what you were looking for some time ago?]
