1. C-x C-f somefile.pl 2. M-x cperl-mode 3. Menu->Perl->Tools-Tags See the attached screenshot. If you inspect VERY KEENLY the "Tags" menu is overlaid PERFECTLY on the top of it's grandparent. The camouflaging is so perfect and I was confused why the submenu wasn't popping when "Tags" has arrow key next to it. What should happen: =================== Please stagger the sub-menus a bit. The UI is very deceptive.
