Automatically closing braces/parenthesis, etc

Automatically closing braces/parenthesis, etc

[Alberto Simões]

Hi

I found in this list archive that if I add the following code to my 
.emacs, I get automatically closing braces, etc


(setq skeleton-pair t)
(global-set-key "(" 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe)
(global-set-key "[" 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe)
(global-set-key "\"" 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe)
(global-set-key "'" 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe)
(global-set-key "{" 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe)


And it is true. Unfortuantely, this does not work under CPerl mode. 
Probably because CPerl redefines something. Is there any easy way to go 
around it?

Thanks
Alberto

Try perl-mode instead ? ;-)
Or do something like:

(add-hook 'cperl-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (local-set-key "(" 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe))
            ...
            ))
