Others have already helped with the coloring problem, but you may want
to try this in your .emacs to set up auto-indenting for programming
modes you are using:

(add-hook 'perl-mode-hook
          #'(lambda ()
              ;; A better newline
              (local-set-key "\C-m"
#'reindent-then-newline-and-indent)))

This particular example is for perl, adjust the hook name to the name
of your mode hook. For other similar functions to bind to the return
key, try M-x apropos newline-and-indent.
