What would be a good way of collecting this information?
In addition to what Jens Schmidt said, I can add that:
1. If I have something like:
my $some_code = "";
$some_code.= q(
my $counter = 0;
);
If I put point at column 0 of the line "my $counter", and hit TAB, I get
indentation in perl-mode. I don't in cperl-mode. I tried to look into
options for making this work but I couldn't find anything.
2. While I'm typing the above string, I get messages about string/RE not
found:
End of ‘q( ... )’ string/RE not found: (scan-error Unbalanced
parentheses 1092 1874)
End of ‘q( ... )’ string/RE not found: (scan-error Unbalanced
parentheses 1092 1918) [2 times]
End of ‘q( ... )’ string/RE not found: (scan-error Unbalanced
parentheses 1092 1962) [2 times]
That's annoying.
So far, my settings for getting a perl-mode experience in cperl-mode,
with emacs -Q: (taken from a custom file):
'(cperl-highlight-variables-indiscriminately t)
'(cperl-indent-level 4)
'(cperl-indent-parens-as-block t)
'(cperl-invalid-face 'default)
'(cperl-array-face ((t (:inherit cperl-hash-face))))
'(cperl-hash-face ((t (:underline t :inherit
font-lock-variable-name-face))))
'(cperl-nonoverridable-face ((t (:inherit default))))
