Dear maintainers,

I have noticed that perl-mode modifies in a non-standard way the
font-lock-variable-name-face.  This makes it impossible to get perl
buffers to look like other programming modes, in accordance with user or
theme configurations.

The attached patch merely assigns font-lock-variable-name-face while
removing the hardcoded underline property.

If you think that the underline should remain in place, then I can
provide another patch that would add a new face which would inherit from
font-lock-variable-name-face and add an underline accordingly.

All the best,
Protesilaos

Subject: [PATCH] Remove hardcoded underline for perl-mode variables

* lisp/progmodes/perl-mode.el (perl-font-lock-keywords-2): Just assign
'font-lock-variable-name-face' without editing it further.

This respects user or theme configurations with regard to font-lock
faces.

The comment here mentions this:

     ;; Additionally underline non-scalar variables.  Maybe this is a bad idea.
     ;;'("[$@%*][#{]?\\(\\sw+\\)" 1 font-lock-variable-name-face)
     ("[$*]{?\\(\\sw+\\(::\\sw+\\)*\\)" 1 font-lock-variable-name-face)
     ("\\([@%]\\|\\$#\\)\\(\\sw+\\(::\\sw+\\)*\\)"
      (2 (cons font-lock-variable-name-face '(underline))))

And it is a bad idea to hard-code this, but having different faces here
makes sense, I think.  So could you whip up another patch to add the new
face, as you suggested?
