[pretest] Symbol's value as variable is void: perl-mode-abbrev-table

I didn't have this problem a while back.. Now I am getting this on the pretest.

I reverted back to my CVS snapshot I was running (it is about a month old) and
this problem does not exist.

...

Are we missing a defvar for this?

Sorry... just open a perl file (.pl) and run M-x perl-mode.

That did it for me.  Actually the mapping was in auto-mode-alist and I noticed
it wasn't font-locked and realized that this was a problem.  It does it on all
files too.  Anytime you go into perl-mode.  cperl-mode doesn't seem to have
this problem because it correctly defvar's cperl-mode-abbrev-table.

Does this change fix it?

Yes...

I applied the patch, and re-evaluated.  Prior to the patch it failed, after the
patch it worked.

Good work!
