You're not meant to use our pg_bsd_indent on its own without the
appropriate flags, namely (from src/tools/pgindent/pgindent):

"-bad -bap -bbb -bc -bl -cli1 -cp33 -cdb -nce -d0 -di12 -nfc1 -i4 -l79
-lp -lpl -nip -npro -sac -tpg -ts4"

If that's inconvenient you can create a .indent.pro with the settings.

Also, why are you proposing to undet indent-style for .pl and .pm files?
That's not in accordance with our perltidy settings
(src/tools/pgindent/perltidyrc), unless I'm misunderstanding.
