I can reproduce it on all versions I have, from (patched) 19.33 to 21.2.1. If this is interesting, here is the scenario: emacs -l ./cperl-mode.elc -q attrs.pl (give -nw if you like). Now do M-x font-lock-mode then go to the =cut line in the file, and delete the last character. Apparently, no obvious function defined in cperl-mode.el is entered at this time. CPerl mode should be v5.11; it (and attrs.pl) is available on ilyaz.org/software/emacs (the file for cperl-mode is marked as "broken" to indicate the problem). Can people reproduce it with newer versions? Hope this helps, Ilya
