* How can I turn on abbrev mode by default?

Is it possible to turn on abbrev mode by default whenever I go into
cperl-mode.  i.e. whenever I do:

M-x cperl-mode (or emacs does it when I open a perl file)

Emacs knows to:
M-x abbrev-mode

THanks in advance,

Dan

Go to the customization for cperl-mode-hook by doing:

  M-x customize-option RET cperl-mode-hook

Then click on INS and type into the field:

  abbrev-mode

And go save your setting. That's it!

HTH,
Micah

When I do that it tells me "No match".  CPerlmode is installed in my
.emacs.d/lisp directory.  Could this be the problem?

Hm. Try adding

 (load "cperl-mode")

near the top of your .emacs (assuming .emacs.d is in your
load-path), and evaluate it. Does that help?

Another approach is to just add this to your .emacs file.

(add-hook 'hack-local-variables-hook
	  #'(lambda ()
	      (when (eq major-mode 'cperl-mode)
		(abbrev-mode 1))))

But why not turn it on all the time. Abbrevs are mode sensitive
anyway. It's even simpler too.

(add-hook 'hack-local-variables-hook
	  #'(lambda () (abbrev-mode 1)))

It seems more appropriate to do

  (add-hook 'cperl-mode-hook 'abbrev-mode)

or maybe

  (add-hook 'cperl-mode-hook #'(lambda () (abbrev-mode 1)))

If that's truly what you want... This seems too much like a
shotgun-approach to me, tho': if you find yourself using it in
most of your modes, then maybe having an alist of modes to
either enable or disable it in might be slightly better...

Just my 2¢
