But then there are those, like me, who tried `cperl-mode', found it too
(shamlessly generalizing here) electric, dwimmy, flashy, whatever, and
who ruefully returned to `perl-mode', not wanting to invest any time to
de-electrify, de-dwim, de-flash `cperl-mode'.
Why not leave `perl-mode' in self-maintenance mode as long as users are
happy with it?
I won't say "no" when we talk about giving `cperl-mode' preference in
`auto-mode-alist', though.
