The templates.sl script at
http://jedmodes.sourceforge.net/mode/templates/ should do the trick. On
your Debian box you probably have it if you have the jed-extra package
installed.

If you add the lines
define perl_mode_hook()
{
   insert_template();
}

to your .jedrc, the template will be automatically inserted when you open
a new perl file.

You can do that by creating two template files: template.pl and template.pm.

OK, make one template file: perl.tpl

If you know Ruby, you can use it from S-Lang with the Ruby module at
http:/www.cheesit.com/downloads/slang/slruby.html
Ruby has some good libraries, though not quite as many as Perl.
