So you live on the bleeding edge ?!
cperl relies heavily on syntax-properties (right name ?)
At least once, a released version of emacs needed to be patched, so that
cperl worked correctly. (A friend of mine asked me a second time, when I
told him he had to get a patch for the c-sources of emacs to get this bug
out)
Maybe something like that was broken on you older version....
You just would have to diff the whole thing ;-)

Just wild guessing...
