Yeah, I've seen that, but that'd break any file that was marked -*- perl -*-
because the indenting is slightly different and the "phony" items you have
to sprinkle for perl-mode's mismatched balances would actually confuse
cperl-mode.

So, you have to have both.  Simply calling cperl-mode "perl-mode" is no good.
