perl mode

[Gabriel C Millerd]

back in college when i evoked emacs on a non existant file such as
such as something.(pl|c|cpp|sh) it would have common text that would be
used to start such a file. such as #!/path/program and what not.

anyone direct me to where i can figure out how to do this for myself?
perferablly from my home directory and perferablly for perl mode?

thanks very much

There is a package called template.el available at http://emacs-template.sourceforge.net/ that will probably do what you are looking to do.

perl mode

[Philippe Delavalade]

Hi all.

it's my first post on this list, so be kind with my english :-)

I have problems with indentation in perl mode when usign "$'" ; I guess it
comes from the "'"...

Here is a little example :

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

$\ = "\n";
my $txt = 'Hello World !';

main
{
if(1)
{
($txt =~ m/Hello /) && (print "$'");
}
print "Bye";
}

exit(0);

If I run the "indent-region" command (after having marked the whole
script", identation is not correct.

I suspect I should add some lines in .emacs but I don't know which are the
right ones...

Thanks in advance for help.

If you prefer writing in French, there is also a French newsgroup
related to Emacs : fr.comp.application.emacs.

I don't think so: removing it doesn't change the observed behavior.

You can use cperl mode instead of perl, it is a bit more powerful. The
simplest way to do so is by adding this line to .emacs:

(defalias 'perl-mode 'cperl-mode)

A quick test shows that your example works better with cperl mode.

I did that and test different styles with cperl-set-style and prefered C++.

So I add the following line, based on the manual
(setq cperl-default-style "C++")

I have no error or warning when entering emacs but it does not work.

What is wrong ?

Thanks in advance.

You should use something like this:

(add-hook 'cperl-mode-hook (lambda() (cperl-set-style "C++")))

As far as I can tell, the only problem is that perl-mode doesn't like to
start from a file with no indentation at all.  Check `perl-nochange',
which is a regexp that specifies lines that auto-indentation should
not change.  This includes all lines that start with ( or { or [.

Correct. The same for cperl (the latest mode related to Perl 6).

No, as said in my first answer, cperl (with default settings and
emacs-snapshot) indents the file even if all the lines are initially at
the first column, as in the example.
