Emacs hangs on the creation of a newline with evil-ret when in a cperl
buffer with some POD documentation after the __END__. This doesn't
appear to be a bug in evil, but instead a bug in cperl or
syntax-propertize,
but I can't tell for sure.

I can reproduce it with emacs -Q and the following configuration:

;; evil-error-reproduce.el:
(defalias 'perl-mode 'cperl-mode)
(add-to-list 'load-path "<path to evil>")
(require 'evil)
(evil-mode 1)
;; end evil-error-reproduce.el


Once this config is evaluated, open a .pl file which has POD after __END__
like the following:

# hangs.pl:

print "hello world";

__END__

=head1 NAME

# end hangs.pl


and open a newline after the print statement with evil-ret (bound to RET
when in insert mode by default). I haven't been able to get further than
this in debugging this problem.
