reset file state

How do I delete the state information Komodo edit 4.2.0 saves between sessions?
I have two problems:
1. Sometimes the syntax checking (perl) dies on a perfectly valid module (eg. Data::Dumper). If I rename the file and reload it the syntax checking is back to normal. Somewhere Komodo has saved info this file contains a link to a module which is faulty. How do I force Komodo to reconsider?
2. Sometimes Komodo guesses the wrong indentation, or it guesses correctly and then I change it. How do I tell Komodo to re-guess the indentation, or tell it to forget everything it thinks it knows about a file.
I suspect the answer to these problems is related. How do I reset Komodos saved information about a file?
Thanks for any help.

1. How do I force Komodo to restart syntax checking?
It seems to me that the linter is somehow stalling. I don't believe Komodo is saving any links to other modules though. Have you tried using the syntax menu options (available when you right click on the status icon) to get Komodo to restart it's syntax checking for the current file?
2. How do I tell Komodo to reset the file's current settings?
I don't believe there is a way to do this within Komodo. I'd recommend logging a bug to add this as a feature request:

Thanks Todd.
I'm stuck with the version I have even if there's an update, so I'm going to leave the bug report to someone who isn't sick to death of creating a new account for every website they visit. Anyway, I've discovered a partial workaround.
By changing my perl interpreter (to anything) and then back, the syntax checking of external libraries is reset. It's slightly easier than renaming the file.
