Obviously someone else than Ilya must have caused the changes between Ilya's version and Emacs's and it's quite likely he/she's reading this mailing-list. > It appears that there is a big delta between his original version and the > CVS version. Not that big, really. > Why patches to Cperl-mode have never been sent back to him? > Isn't he meant to be the author of the mode? There was a disagreement about what the code should look like (I don't know the specifics but my understanding is that Richard wanted some changes that Ilya rejected), so his version and the Emacs version are not the same. I do send him every patch I apply to Emacs's cperl-mode.el. Stefan
