Well do you really question the benefits of modularizations and plugins? :-) Modularizing would lower the danger to break the whole package making changes and plugins easier. People would be able to assemble the moduls and plugins they need with the help of a test-suite. Actually only some people dare touching cperl-mode. But having small moduls as templates facilitates a try and error approach. Some moduls like sepia try to hook on cperl, but Sean doesn't know how to make your font-lock usable for his REPL. But I clearly see it would be to much to ask from you to invest more work in it... (it would mean loosing control over the oeuvre.. ;-) I asked many questions about customizing and extending cperl at perlmonks ... The actual trend is to develop perl-editors like Padre or Kephra which are extendable with perl. > a) I do not find it outdated. =A0(IMO, HTML (and PDF) are not suitable > =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 for docum= entation.) IIRC the info files for perl were very outdated (2001), very hard to find and had even problems. > b) How would removing it help somebody? I've spend two days to find the (depressing) answer for a) http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=3D782153 That's too hard for a beginner... Suggestion: you may check if the info file is accessible and skip the entry if not. Cheers Rolf
