Automatic closing braces

[Alberto Simões]

Hi.

I have this in my .emacs:

(setq skeleton-pair t)
(global-set-key "(" 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe)
(global-set-key "[" 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe)
(global-set-key "\"" 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe)
;; (global-set-key "'" 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe)
(global-set-key "{" 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe)

and it works in all modes except (that I have noticed) in CPerl.
Is there any way to make it work?

Also, I was trying textmate and although I didn't like it much, it has 
some things I like, and one is very related to these automatic closing 
braces, so here is the question...

In textmake, when I have {} and the cursor between, if I type RETURN, it 
does:

  {
      |
  }

Where | is the cursor. That is, it starts a new block, and indents the 
cursor.

Is there any easy way to mimic this behaviour under emacs?

Thank you
Alberto
