Ilya's version has diverged from the cperl-mode in GNU > Emacs, though, and I believe Ilya's version has a slight edge. We've sync'd Ilya's cperl-mode in the past. If it needs to be updated, it can be sync'd again (AFAIK, the two cperl-mode versions have slightly diverged, indeed, but not that much: we try to keep our local changes small). BTW, this "problematic maintainership" is one hurdle to making cperl-mode the default Perl mode, indeed. That's one of the reasons why I've invested some time to improve perl-mode (even tho I don't use it myself). Stefan
