I know when I edit p5 and other ports, I add 4 spaces as indent for all blocks. It makes things much more clear in my mind. I don’t want to get into the situation where people are accidentally reversing each other’s edits! :) I think a consensus would be a good idea here.

Usually people have just added that line without indenting the dependencies. We always indent the python ports which have similar logic. I think the code looks better indented. But I will stay with the consensus on this (of course).

+1 for Frank's position here. I've been adding the 4 spaces when
updating perl ports as well.  I think it makes the code much more
readable and is consistent with usage in other ports.
