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.
