underscores in cperl-mode

underscores in cperl-mode

[Michael P. Soulier]

    Hey people,

    cperl-mode replaces trailing whitespace with underscores in the display.
Is there a way to turn that off?

    Thanks,
    Mike

Nothing is replaced, the whitespace is just shown underlined.

There is a face for that, turn off underline for that face, and Bob's
your uncle.  Lessee now...  Hm.  I thought there was a face, but I
can't find it!  Does M-x list-faces-display RET show some cperl face
that could be the culprit?

    Yeah, I assumed, but it's really difficult to tell the difference between
an underlined whitespace and a real trailing underline.

    I'll keep an eye on this thread. I glanced at the cperl-mode code, but a
quick inspection didn't turn it up for me. I'm no elisp expert unfortunately.

You can type M-x list-faces-display RET without understanding Lisp.
You can then search that list for "cperl" also without understanding
Lisp.

??? Go to the menu, or directly to customization.

Hope this helps,
