Subject: | bug#10688: The default mode for Perl should be cperl-mode instead of perl-mode |
Date: | Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:25:32 -0400 |
User-agent: | Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/24.2 (gnu/linux) |

The traditional upstream location is 403 today, but > exists in search engines caches. > A braver man than I has already forked it some years ago; > https://github.com/jrockway/cperl-mode Let me put it some other way: If/when someone is willing and able to take over maintenance of cperl-mode (starting with cleaning up the Emacs-19-style-code-cruft), then I might consider switching the default to cperl-mode. But it might be easier to start from perl-mode and add cperl-mode chunks to it. Stefan
