In perl mode try typing

$a="a
b";

You'll instead end up with

$a="a
    b";

upon typing the final ";".

OK, fix by removing the spaces perl-mode wrongly inserted it. Then hit
TAB anywhere on the last line. The wrongful spaces return.

I'm able to reproduce this in Emacs 26.3, but not in Emacs 28.1, so this
has apparently been fixed by now.  Closing.
