I think I sadly agree.
I've been a supporter of `perl-mode` because when I had to edit Perl
files, I always found `cperl-mode` not to be to my taste (too different
from other Emacs major modes). So I've worked to improve `perl-mode`
based on my own needs, which were rather limited.
I considered improving `cperl-mode` instead, but found the code of
`perl-mode` easier to deal with (especially at the beginning, where
I found collaborating with Ilya was sometimes difficult).
Luckily I haven't needed to edit Perl files for the last several years.
I think the best option is to obsolete `perl-mode` and to encourage
people to report bugs against `cperl-mode` when they find it doesn't
work as well as their beloved `perl-mode` :-)
