Syntax highlighting has been improved significantly. It's not as gaudy as cperl-mode, but in terms of not-getting-confused it's not too far from cperl-mode, in my experience. Of course, I'm biased, since I wrote all that perl-mode syntax-highlighting code. > Perhaps I should try and look at the latest perl mode for a fair comparison, > and or to remember what else I hated and whether any of it is still true. I don't have much time to devote to it, but I generally try to fix bugs in perl-mode (especially syntax-highlighting and indentation ones), and I'm willing to try to retrofit specific cperl-mode features into it.
