Glenn, as I showed, the behavior of emacs 23 in this respect is very inconsistent on different systems.
If mode-compile and cperl-mode need an update it would be only fair to know to which specification it needs to be updated to!
Or do you think emacs 23 is not an example of consistent software???

Then mode-compile probably needs updating.
