Finding out how many spaces a tab character is expended to

[John McGregor]

According to this document, the default no. of spaces for tab in Perl is
4 (line 141), but other references I saw in a cursory search for
'default  number of spaces for tab in perl'  showed that the default is
8 or that it is arbitrary.
