font-lock not working correctly

I am using emacs21 on Debian sid, to start things off.
The only elisp I load is color-theme.el and cperl-mode.el, both latest
version.

Attached is a image, showing the problem, and my .emacs file.

With my setup, font-lock never seems to highlight things like it should.
It highlights, but maybe only 2 or 3 colors. I have tried c files and
perl files, which work perfectly fine on others' systems with emacs (I
don't know if their system is different or not).

What I get is shown on the attached image, which is hardly helpful :)
The odd thing is that if I run emacs -q and do the things in my .emacs
file *manually*, it highlights perfectly.

Have asked on #emacs on FreeNode, but nobody seems to have an idea :/
I am hoping I am doing something simple wrong..

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please mail me directly.

Thanks,
-r
