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)))
