I have to say, I don't know any Perl programmers that use perl-mode. This is not to say perl-mode is not good, just that cperl-mode by now is very popular. Can we put together a list of features for perl-mode vs. cperl-mode? It will let users decide better, and it will tell us whether one or the other needs to catch up. Ted
