I wonder if the fact that perl code using the EPIC editor is not getting
indented automatically is a limitation of the EPIC plugin or of Eclipse?

I think that any decent programming editor should support configurable
automatic indenting of code (similar to what (X)Emacs has been doing
for decades).

Is there a way how to define this in Eclipse? Is there a key that will
re-indent a selected block of code?

Indentation plugin is just independent plugins for each editor. So there
is no limitation. Just there is no formatter yet. Building a formatter
is very annoying job than you think. It requires scanning, parsing,
indentation model, source printing, and many policies. So, We have to
wait or make.
