    the version of CPerl mode seems utter chaos.  Both Emacs and Ilya's web-site
    have 4.32, but they are very different.  While Emacs' newest copyright is
    much older, CVS with its many little fixes, shows that the opposite is true.

Having version numbers in Lisp packages causes persistent problems
which persistently waste time.

In the past my solution was to delete the version numbers from Lisp
packages.  They are redundant anyway, because each Emacs version comes
with on particular version of every Lisp file.
