It seems like whitespace-mode ignores variables set by
dir-locals-set-class-variables. It can be seen in the
whitespace-report. I stopped using directory local variables for the
sake of this workaround:

(add-hook 'perl-mode-hook
          '(lambda ()
             (if (string-match "/home/gray/repo/someproject"
                               (buffer-file-name))
                 (setq indent-tabs-mode t)
               (setq indent-tabs-mode nil))
             (setq tab-width 4)))
