I've been using cperl-mode for a while, and it has many enhancements
over perl-mode. Ilya's version has diverged from the cperl-mode in GNU
Emacs, though, and I believe Ilya's version has a slight edge. I
brought that up:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/115635/focus=115643
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.help/67570/focus=67653
Ilya has not followed up on emacs-devel and neither side seems
interested in an ongoing synchronization.
