Mostly backward-compatibility bruhaha, and whitespace.  I found only
one significant bug in 4.32-RMS (one with indentation of

  $a = {
      };

).

This is due to a different default for cperl-under-as-char.  The
proper solution (one which allows customization of
cperl-under-as-char) should be using a separate syntax table during
cperl-find-pods-heres - one with "_" marked as word-character (as it
should be).

Hope this helps,
