Lots and lots of colors .. definately not what I'd call dull :)

Tried just doing 'emacs -q' .. then load the file, then 'M-x
cperl-mode', then 'M-x font-lock-mode' and it's all highlighted
correctly. Yet, putting the same in my .emacs, it's messed up again.
Seems the only way to get it to work is manually.. :/

Things are correct when I do what I just said above, however I have a
hard time believing its the color-theme.el because if I comment it out
of my .emacs file, the highlighting is still broken.

I have tried turning font-lock off, and then on again while I have the
perl file loaded, no help. As fas as finding what cperl-mode uses to
font-lock, I have no idea, because I am very new to lisp and just the
sheer size of that file scares me :)

Thanks for all your help, and I hope we can figure this out!
