;;; If your Emacs does not default to `cperl-mode' on Perl files:
;;; To use this mode put the following into
;;; your .emacs file:

;; (autoload 'perl-mode "cperl-mode" "alternate mode for editing Perl programs" t)

;; You can either fine-tune the bells and whistles of this mode or
;; bulk enable them by putting

;; (setq cperl-hairy t)

;; in your .emacs file.  (Emacs rulers do not consider it politically
;; correct to make whistles enabled by default.)

;; DO NOT FORGET to read micro-docs (available from `Perl' menu)   <<<<<<
;; or as help on variables `cperl-tips', `cperl-problems',         <<<<<<
;; `cperl-non-problems', `cperl-praise', `cperl-speed'.            <<<<<<

;;; Note also that there are "authoritative" version of this file  <<<<<<
;;; (available on http://ilyaz.org/software/emacs/), and versions  <<<<<<
;;; "customized" for a particular Emacs distribution by Emacs      <<<<<<
;;; maintainers themselves.  As expected, the "authoritative"      <<<<<<
;;; version is known to be much less buggy.  Usually the           <<<<<<
;;; maintainers add a verbiage after numbers in `cperl-version'.   <<<<<<

;; Additional useful commands to put into your .emacs file (before
;; RMS Emacs 20.3):

;; (setq auto-mode-alist
;;      (append '(("\\.\\([pP][Llm]\\|al\\)$" . perl-mode))  auto-mode-alist ))
;; (setq interpreter-mode-alist (append interpreter-mode-alist
;;                                      '(("miniperl" . perl-mode))))

;; The mode information (on C-h m) provides some customization help.
;; If you use font-lock feature of this mode, it is advisable to use
;; either lazy-lock-mode or fast-lock-mode.  I prefer lazy-lock.

;; Faces used now: three faces for first-class and second-class keywords
;; and control flow words, one for each: comments, string, labels,
;; functions definitions and packages, arrays, hashes, and variable
;; definitions.  If you do not see all these faces, your font-lock does
;; not define them, so you need to define them manually.
;; Maybe you have an obsolete font-lock from 19.28 or earlier.  Upgrade.

;; If you have a grayscale monitor, and do not have the variable
;; font-lock-display-type bound to 'grayscale, insert

;; (setq font-lock-display-type 'grayscale)

;; into your .emacs file (this is relevant before RMS Emacs 20).

;; This mode supports font-lock, imenu and mode-compile.  In the
;; hairy version font-lock is on, but you should activate imenu
;; yourself (note that mode-compile is not standard yet).  Well, you
;; can use imenu from keyboard anyway (M-x imenu), but it is better
;; to bind it like that:

;; (define-key global-map [M-S-down-mouse-3] 'imenu)

;;; Font lock bugs as of v4.32:

;; The following kinds of Perl code erroneously start strings:
;; \$`  \$'  \$"
;; $opt::s  $opt_s  $opt{s}  (s => ...)  /\s+.../
;; likewise with m, tr, y, q, qX instead of s

;;; In fact the version of font-lock that this version supports can be
;;; much newer than the version you actually have. This means that a
;;; lot of faces can be set up, but are not visible on your screen
;;; since the coloring rules for this faces are not defined.

;;; Updates: ========================================

;;; Made less hairy by default: parentheses not electric,
;;; linefeed not magic. Bug with abbrev-mode corrected.

;;;; After 1.4:
;;;  Better indentation:
;;;  subs inside braces should work now,
;;;  Toplevel braces obey customization.
;;;  indent-for-comment knows about bad cases, cperl-indent-for-comment
;;;  moves cursor to a correct place.
;;;  cperl-indent-exp written from the scratch! Slow... (quadratic!) :-(
;;;        (50 secs on DB::DB (sub of 430 lines), 486/66)
;;;  Minor documentation fixes.
;;;  Imenu understands packages as prefixes (including nested).
;;;  Hairy options can be switched off one-by-one by setting to null.
;;;  Names of functions and variables changed to conform to `cperl-' style.

;;;; After 1.5:
;;;  Some bugs with indentation of labels (and embedded subs) corrected.
;;;  `cperl-indent-region' done (slow :-()).
;;;  `cperl-fill-paragraph' done.
;;;  Better package support for `imenu'.
;;;  Progress indicator for indentation (with `imenu' loaded).
;;;  `Cperl-set' was busted, now setting the individual hairy option
;;;     should be better.

;;;; After 1.6:
;;; `cperl-set-style' done.
;;; `cperl-check-syntax' done.
;;; Menu done.
;;; New config variables `cperl-close-paren-offset' and `cperl-comment-column'.
;;; Bugs with `cperl-auto-newline' corrected.
;;; `cperl-electric-lbrace' can work with `cperl-auto-newline' in situation
;;; like $hash{.

;;;; 1.7 XEmacs (arius@informatik.uni-erlangen.de):
;;; - use `next-command-event', if `next-command-events' does not exist
;;; - use `find-face' as def. of `is-face'
;;; - corrected def. of `x-color-defined-p'
;;; - added const defs for font-lock-comment-face,
;;;   font-lock-keyword-face and font-lock-function-name-face
;;; - added def. of font-lock-variable-name-face
;;; - added (require 'easymenu) inside an `eval-when-compile'
;;; - replaced 4-argument `substitute-key-definition' with ordinary
;;;   `define-key's
;;; - replaced `mark-active' in menu definition by `cperl-use-region-p'.
;;; Todo (at least):
;;; - use emacs-vers.el (http://www.cs.utah.edu/~eeide/emacs/emacs-vers.el.gz)
;;;   for portable code?
;;; - should `cperl-mode' do a
;;;     (if (featurep 'easymenu) (easy-menu-add cperl-menu))
;;;   or should this be left to the user's `cperl-mode-hook'?

;;; Some bugs introduced by the above fix corrected (IZ ;-).
;;; Some bugs under XEmacs introduced by the correction corrected.

;;; Some more can remain since there are two many different variants.
;;; Please feedback!

;;; We do not support fontification of arrays and hashes under
;;; obsolete font-lock any more. Upgrade.

;;;; after 1.8 Minor bug with parentheses.
;;;; after 1.9 Improvements from Joe Marzot.
;;;; after 1.10
;;;  Does not need easymenu to compile under XEmacs.
;;;  `vc-insert-headers' should work better.
;;;  Should work with 19.29 and 19.12.
;;;  Small improvements to fontification.
;;;  Expansion of keywords does not depend on C-? being backspace.

;;; after 1.10+
;;; 19.29 and 19.12 supported.
;;; `cperl-font-lock-enhanced' deprecated. Use font-lock-extra.el.
;;; Support for font-lock-extra.el.

;;;; After 1.11:
;;; Tools submenu.
;;; Support for perl5-info.
;;; `imenu-go-find-at-position' in Tools requires imenu-go.el (see hints above)
;;; Imenu entries do not work with stock imenu.el. Patch sent to maintainers.
;;; Fontifies `require a if b;', __DATA__.
;;; Arglist for auto-fill-mode was incorrect.

;;;; After 1.12:
;;; `cperl-lineup-step' and `cperl-lineup' added: lineup constructions
;;; vertically.
;;; `cperl-do-auto-fill' updated for 19.29 style.
;;; `cperl-info-on-command' now has a default.
;;; Workaround for broken C-h on XEmacs.
;;; VC strings escaped.
;;; C-h f now may prompt for function name instead of going on,
;;; controlled by `cperl-info-on-command-no-prompt'.

;;;; After 1.13:
;;; Msb buffer list includes perl files
;;; Indent-for-comment uses indent-to
;;; Can write tag files using etags.

;;;; After 1.14:
;;; Recognizes (tries to ;-) {...} which are not blocks during indentation.
;;; `cperl-close-paren-offset' affects ?\] too (and ?\} if not block)
;;; Bug with auto-filling comments started with "##" corrected.

;;;; Very slow now: on DB::DB 0.91, 486/66:

;;;; After 1.15:
;;; Takes into account white space after opening parentheses during indent.
;;; May highlight pods and here-documents: see `cperl-pod-here-scan',
;;; `cperl-pod-here-fontify', `cperl-pod-face'. Does not use this info
;;; for indentation so far.
;;; Fontification updated to 19.30 style.
;;; The change 19.29->30 did not add all the required functionality,
;;;     but broke "font-lock-extra.el". Get "choose-color.el" from
;;;       http://ilyaz.org/software/emacs

;;;; After 1.16:
;;;       else # comment
;;;    recognized as a start of a block.
;;;  Two different font-lock-levels provided.
;;;  `cperl-pod-head-face' introduced. Used for highlighting.
;;;  `imenu' marks pods, +Packages moved to the head.

;;;; After 1.17:
;;;  Scan for pods highlights here-docs too.
;;;  Note that the tag of here-doc may be rehighlighted later by lazy-lock.
;;;  Only one here-doc-tag per line is supported, and one in comment
;;;  or a string may break fontification.
;;;  POD headers were supposed to fill one line only.

;;;; After 1.18:
;;;  `font-lock-keywords' were set in 19.30 style _always_. Current scheme
;;;    may  break under XEmacs.
;;;  `cperl-calculate-indent' dis suppose that `parse-start' was defined.
;;;  `fontified' tag is added to fontified text as well as `lazy-lock' (for
;;;    compatibility with older lazy-lock.el) (older one overfontifies
;;;    something nevertheless :-().
;;;  Will not indent something inside pod and here-documents.
;;;  Fontifies the package name after import/no/bootstrap.
;;;  Added new entry to menu with meta-info about the mode.

;;;; After 1.19:
;;;  Prefontification works much better with 19.29. Should be checked
;;;   with 19.30 as well.
;;;  Some misprints in docs corrected.
;;;  Now $a{-text} and -text => "blah" are fontified as strings too.
;;;  Now the pod search is much stricter, so it can help you to find
;;;    pod sections which are broken because of whitespace before =blah
;;;    - just observe the fontification.

;;;; After 1.20
;;;  Anonymous subs are indented with respect to the level of
;;;    indentation of `sub' now.
;;;  {} is recognized as hash after `bless' and `return'.
;;;  Anonymous subs are split by `cperl-linefeed' as well.
;;;  Electric parens embrace a region if present.
;;;  To make `cperl-auto-newline' useful,
;;;    `cperl-auto-newline-after-colon' is introduced.
;;;  `cperl-electric-parens' is now t or nul. The old meaning is moved to
;;;  `cperl-electric-parens-string'.
;;;  `cperl-toggle-auto-newline' introduced, put on C-c C-a.
;;;  `cperl-toggle-abbrev' introduced, put on C-c C-k.
;;;  `cperl-toggle-electric' introduced, put on C-c C-e.
;;;  Beginning-of-defun-regexp was not anchored.

;;;; After 1.21
;;;  Auto-newline grants `cperl-extra-newline-before-brace' if "{" is typed
;;;    after ")".
;;;  {} is recognized as expression after `tr' and friends.

;;;; After 1.22
;;;  Entry Hierarchy added to imenu. Very primitive so far.
;;;  One needs newer `imenu-go'.el. A patch to `imenu' is needed as well.
;;;  Writes its own TAGS files.
;;;  Class viewer based on TAGS files. Does not trace @ISA so far.
;;;  19.31: Problems with scan for PODs corrected.
;;;  First POD header correctly fontified.
;;;  I needed (setq imenu-use-keymap-menu t) to get good imenu in 19.31.
;;;  Apparently it makes a lot of hierarchy code obsolete...

;;;; After 1.23
;;;  Tags filler now scans *.xs as well.
;;;  The info from *.xs scan is used by the hierarchy viewer.
;;;  Hierarchy viewer documented.
;;;  Bug in 19.31 imenu documented.

;;;; After 1.24
;;;  New location for info-files mentioned,
;;;  Electric-; should work better.
;;;  Minor bugs with POD marking.

;;;; After 1.25 (probably not...)
;;;  `cperl-info-page' introduced.
;;;  To make `uncomment-region' working, `comment-region' would
;;;  not insert extra space.
;;;  Here documents delimiters better recognized
;;;  (empty one, and non-alphanums in quotes handled). May be wrong with 1<<14?
;;;  `cperl-db' added, used in menu.
;;;  imenu scan removes text-properties, for better debugging
;;;    - but the bug is in 19.31 imenu.
;;;  formats highlighted by font-lock and prescan, embedded comments
;;;  are not treated.
;;;  POD/friends scan merged in one pass.
;;;  Syntax class is not used for analyzing the code, only char-syntax
;;;  may be checked against _ or'ed with w.
;;;  Syntax class of `:' changed to be _.
;;;  `cperl-find-bad-style' added.

;;;; After 1.25
;;;  When search for here-documents, we ignore commented << in simplest cases.
;;;  `cperl-get-help' added, available on C-h v and from menu.
;;;  Auto-help added. Default with `cperl-hairy', switchable on/off
;;;   with startup variable `cperl-lazy-help-time' and from
;;;   menu. Requires `run-with-idle-timer'.
;;;  Highlighting of @abc{@efg} was wrong - interchanged two regexps.

;;;; After 1.27
;;;  Indentation: At toplevel after a label - fixed.
;;;  1.27 was put to archives in binary mode ===> DOSish :-(

;;;; After 1.28
;;;  Thanks to Martin Buchholz <mrb@Eng.Sun.COM>: misprints in
;;;  comments and docstrings corrected, XEmacs support cleaned up.
;;;  The closing parenths would enclose the region into matching
;;;  parens under the same conditions as the opening ones.
;;;  Minor updates to `cperl-short-docs'.
;;;  Will not consider <<= as start of here-doc.

;;;; After 1.29
;;;  Added an extra advice to look into Micro-docs. ;-).
;;;  Enclosing of region when you press a closing parenth is regulated by
;;;  `cperl-electric-parens-string'.
;;;  Minor updates to `cperl-short-docs'.
;;;  `initialize-new-tags-table' called only if present (Does this help
;;;     with generation of tags under XEmacs?).
;;;  When creating/updating tag files, new info is written at the old place,
;;;     or at the end (is this a wanted behaviour? I need this in perl build directory).

;;;; After 1.30
;;;  All the keywords from keywords.pl included (maybe with dummy explanation).
;;;  No auto-help inside strings, comment, here-docs, formats, and pods.
;;;  Shrinkwrapping of info, regulated by `cperl-max-help-size',
;;;  `cperl-shrink-wrap-info-frame'.
;;;  Info on variables as well.
;;;  Recognision of HERE-DOCS improved yet more.
;;;  Autonewline works on `}' without warnings.
;;;  Autohelp works again on $_[0].

;;;; After 1.31
;;;  perl-descr.el found its author - hi, Johan!
;;;  Some support for correct indent after here-docs and friends (may
;;;  be superseeded by eminent change to Emacs internals).
;;;  Should work with older Emaxen as well ( `-style stuff removed).

;;;; After 1.32

;;;  Started to add support for `syntax-table' property (should work
;;;  with patched Emaxen), controlled by
;;;  `cperl-use-syntax-table-text-property'. Currently recognized:
;;;    All quote-like operators: m, s, y, tr, qq, qw, qx, q,
;;;    // in most frequent context:
;;;          after block or
;;;                    ~ { ( = | & + - * ! , ;
;;;          or
;;;                    while if unless until and or not xor split grep map
;;;    Here-documents, formats, PODs,
;;;    ${...}
;;;    'abc$'
;;;    sub a ($); sub a ($) {}
;;;  (provide 'cperl-mode) was missing!
;;;  `cperl-after-expr-p' is now much smarter after `}'.
;;;  `cperl-praise' added to mini-docs.
;;;  Utilities try to support subs-with-prototypes.

;;;; After 1.32.1
;;;  `cperl-after-expr-p' is now much smarter after "() {}" and "word {}":
;;;     if word is "else, map, grep".
;;;  Updated for new values of syntax-table constants.
;;;  Uses `help-char' (at last!) (disabled, does not work?!)
;;;  A couple of regexps where missing _ in character classes.
;;;  -s could be considered as start of regexp, 1../blah/ was not,
;;;  as was not /blah/ at start of file.

;;;; After 1.32.2
;;;  "\C-hv" was wrongly "\C-hf"
;;;  C-hv was not working on `[index()]' because of [] in skip-chars-*.
;;;  `__PACKAGE__' supported.
;;;  Thanks for Greg Badros: `cperl-lazy-unstall' is more complete,
;;;  `cperl-get-help' is made compatible with `query-replace'.

;;;; As of Apr 15, development version of 19.34 supports
;;;; `syntax-table' text properties. Try setting
;;;; `cperl-use-syntax-table-text-property'.

;;;; After 1.32.3
;;;  We scan for s{}[] as well (in simplest situations).
;;;  We scan for $blah'foo as well.
;;;  The default is to use `syntax-table' text property if Emacs is good enough.
;;;  `cperl-lineup' is put on C-M-| (=C-M-S-\\).
;;;  Start of `cperl-beautify-regexp'.

;;;; After 1.32.4
;;; `cperl-tags-hier-init' did not work in text-mode.
;;; `cperl-noscan-files-regexp' had a misprint.
;;; Generation of Class Hierarchy was broken due to a bug in `x-popup-menu'
;;;  in 19.34.

;;;; After 1.33:
;;; my,local highlight vars after {} too.
;;; TAGS could not be created before imenu was loaded.
;;; `cperl-indent-left-aligned-comments' created.
;;; Logic of `cperl-indent-exp' changed a little bit, should be more
;;;  robust w.r.t. multiline strings.
;;; Recognition of blah'foo takes into account strings.
;;; Added '.al' to the list of Perl extensions.
;;; Class hierarchy is "mostly" sorted (need to rethink algorthm
;;;  of pruning one-root-branch subtrees to get yet better sorting.)
;;; Regeneration of TAGS was busted.
;;; Can use `syntax-table' property when generating TAGS
;;;  (governed by  `cperl-use-syntax-table-text-property-for-tags').

;;;; After 1.35:
;;; Can process several =pod/=cut sections one after another.
;;; Knows of `extproc' when under `emx', indents with `__END__' and `__DATA__'.
;;; `cperl-under-as-char' implemented (XEmacs people like broken behaviour).
;;; Beautifier for regexps fixed.
;;; `cperl-beautify-level', `cperl-contract-level' coded
;;;
;;;; Emacs's 20.2 problems:
;;; `imenu.el' has bugs, `imenu-add-to-menubar' does not work.
;;; Couple of others problems with 20.2 were reported, my ability to check/fix
;;; them is very reduced now.

;;;; After 1.36:
;;;  'C-M-|' in XEmacs fixed

;;;; After 1.37:
;;;  &&s was not recognized as start of regular expression;
;;;  Will "preprocess" the contents of //e part of s///e too;
;;;  What to do with s# blah # foo #e ?
;;;  Should handle s;blah;foo;; better.
;;;  Now the only known problems with regular expression recognition:
;;;;;;;  s<foo>/bar/    - different delimiters (end ignored)
;;;;;;;  s/foo/\\bar/   - backslash at start of subst (made into one chunk)
;;;;;;;  s/foo//        - empty subst (made into one chunk + '/')
;;;;;;;  s/foo/(bar)/   - start-group at start of subst (internal group will not match backwards)

;;;; After 1.38:
;;;  We highlight closing / of s/blah/foo/e;
;;;  This handles s# blah # foo #e too;
;;;  s//blah/, s///, s/blah// works again, and s#blah## too, the algorithm
;;;   is much simpler now;
;;;  Next round of changes: s\\\ works, s<blah>/foo/,
;;;   comments between the first and the second part allowed
;;;  Another problem discovered:
;;;;;;;  s[foo] <blah>e - e part delimited by different <> (will not match)
;;;  `cperl-find-pods-heres' somehow maybe called when string-face is undefined
;;;   - put a stupid workaround for 20.1

;;;; After 1.39:
;;;  Could indent here-docs for comments;
;;;  These problems fixed:
;;;;;;;  s/foo/\\bar/   - backslash at start of subst (made into two chunk)
;;;;;;;  s[foo] <blah>e - "e" part delimited by "different" <> (will match)
;;;  Matching brackets honor prefices, may expand abbreviations;
;;;  When expanding abbrevs, will remove last char only after
;;;    self-inserted whitespace;
;;;  More convenient "Refress hard constructs" in menu;
;;;  `cperl-add-tags-recurse', `cperl-add-tags-recurse-noxs'
;;;    added (for -batch mode);
;;;  Better handling of errors when scanning for Perl constructs;
;;;;;;;  Possible "problem" with class hierarchy in Perl distribution
;;;;;;;    directory: ./ext duplicates ./lib;
;;;  Write relative paths for generated TAGS;

;;;; After 1.40:
;;;  s  /// may be separated by "\n\f" too;
;;;  `s  #blah' recognized as a comment;
;;;  Would highlight s/abc//s wrong;
;;;  Debugging code in `cperl-electric-keywords' was leaking a message;

;;;; After 1.41:
;;;  RMS changes for 20.3 merged

;;;; 2.0.1.0: RMS mode (has 3 misprints)

;;;; After 2.0:
;;;  RMS whitespace changes for 20.3 merged

;;;; After 2.1:
;;;  History updated

;;;; After 2.2:
;;;  Merge `c-style-alist' since `c-mode' is no more.  (Somebody who
;;;    uses the styles should check that they work OK!)
;;;  All the variable warnings go away, some undef functions too.

;;;; After 2.3:
;;;  Added `cperl-perldoc' (thanks to Anthony Foiani <afoiani@uswest.com>)
;;;  Added `cperl-pod-to-manpage' (thanks to Nick Roberts <Nick.Roberts@src.bae.co.uk>)
;;;  All the function warnings go away.

;;;; After 2.4:
;;;  `Perl doc', `Regexp' submenus created (latter to allow short displays).
;;;  `cperl-clobber-lisp-bindings' added.
;;;  $a->y() is not y///.
;;;  `cperl-after-block-p' was missing a `save-excursion' => wrong results.
;;;  `cperl-val' was defined too late.
;;;  `cperl-init-faces' was failing.
;;;  Init faces when loading `ps-print'.

;;;; After 2.4:
;;;  `cperl-toggle-autohelp' implemented.
;;;  `while SPACE LESS' was buggy.
;;;  `-text' in `[-text => 1]' was not highlighted.
;;;  `cperl-after-block-p' was FALSE after `sub f {}'.

;;;; After 2.5:
;;;  `foreachmy', `formy' expanded too.
;;;  Expand `=pod-directive'.
;;;  `cperl-linefeed' behaves reasonable in POD-directive lines.
;;;  `cperl-electric-keyword' prints a message, governed by
;;;    `cperl-message-electric-keyword'.

;;;; After 2.6:
;;;  Typing `}' was not checking for being block or not.
;;;  Beautifying levels in RE: Did not know about lookbehind;
;;;                            finding *which* level was not intuitive;
;;;                            `cperl-beautify-levels' added.
;;;  Allow here-docs contain `=head1' and friends (at least for keywords).

;;;; After 2.7:
;;;  Fix for broken `font-lock-unfontify-region-function'.  Should
;;;    preserve `syntax-table' properties even with `lazy-lock'.

;;;; After 2.8:
;;;  Some more compile time warnings crept in.
;;;  `cperl-indent-region-fix-else' implemented.
;;;  `cperl-fix-line-spacing' implemented.
;;;  `cperl-invert-if-unless' implemented (C-c C-t and in Menu).
;;;  Upgraded hints to mention 20.2's goods/bads.
;;;  Started to use `cperl-extra-newline-before-brace-multiline',
;;;    `cperl-break-one-line-blocks-when-indent',
;;;    `cperl-fix-hanging-brace-when-indent', `cperl-merge-trailing-else'.

;;;; After 2.9:
;;;  Workaround for another `font-lock's `syntax-table' text-property bug.
;;;  `zerop' could be applied to nil.
;;;  At last, may work with `font-lock' without setting `cperl-font-lock'.
;;;    (We expect that starting from 19.33, `font-lock' supports keywords
;;;     being a function - what is a correct version?)
;;;  Rename `cperl-indent-region-fix-else' to
;;;    `cperl-indent-region-fix-constructs'.
;;;  `cperl-fix-line-spacing' could be triggered inside strings, would not
;;;     know what to do with BLOCKs of map/printf/etc.
;;;  `cperl-merge-trailing-else' and `cperl-fix-line-spacing' handle
;;;     `continue' too.
;;;  Indentation after {BLOCK} knows about map/printf/etc.
;;;  Finally: treat after-comma lines as continuation lines.

;;;; After 2.10:
;;;  `continue' made electric.
;;;  Electric `do' inserts `do/while'.
;;;  Some extra compile-time warnings crept in.
;;;  `font-lock' of 19.33 could not handle font-lock-keywords being a function
;;;      returning a symbol.

;;;; After 2.11:
;;;  Changes to make syntaxification to be autoredone via `font-lock'.
;;;    Switched on by `cperl-syntaxify-by-font-lock', off by default so far.

;;;; After 2.12:
;;;  Remove some commented out chunks.
;;;  Styles are slightly updated (a lot of work is needed, especially
;;;    with new `cperl-fix-line-spacing').

;;;; After 2.13:
;;;  Old value of style is memorized when choosing a new style, may be
;;;    restored from the same menu.
;;;  Mode-documentation added to micro-docs.
;;;  `cperl-praise' updated.
;;;  `cperl-toggle-construct-fix' added on C-c C-w and menu.
;;;  `auto-fill-mode' added on C-c C-f and menu.
;;;  `PerlStyle' style added.
;;;  Message for termination of scan corrected.

;;;; After 2.14:

;;;  Did not work with -q

;;;; After 2.15:

;;;  `cperl-speed' hints added.
;;;  Minor style fixes.

;;;; After 2.15:
;;;  Make backspace electric after expansion of `else/continue' too.

;;;; After 2.16:
;;;  Starting to merge changes to RMS emacs version.

;;;; After 2.17:
;;;  Merged custom stuff and darn `font-lock-constant-face'.

;;;; After 2.18:
;;;  Bumped the version to 3.1

;;;; After 3.1:
;;;  Fixed customization to honor cperl-hairy.
;;;  Created customization groups.  Sent to RMS to include into 2.3.

;;;; After 3.2:
;;;  Interaction of `font-lock-hot-pass' and `cperl-syntaxify-by-font-lock'.
;;;  (`cperl-after-block-and-statement-beg'):
;;;  (`cperl-after-block-p'):
;;;  (`cperl-after-expr-p'):    It is BLOCK if we reach lim when backup sexp.
;;;  (`cperl-indent-region'):   Make a marker for END - text added/removed.
;;;  (`cperl-style-alist', `cperl-styles-entries')
;;;             Include `cperl-merge-trailing-else' where the value is clear.

;;;; After 3.3:
;;;  (`cperl-tips'):
;;;  (`cperl-problems'):        Improvements to docs.

;;;; After 3.4:
;;;  (`cperl-mode'):            Make lazy syntaxification possible.
;;;  (`cperl-find-pods-heres'): Safe a position in buffer where it is safe to
;;;                             restart syntaxification.
;;;  (`cperl-syntaxify-by-font-lock'): Set to t, should be safe now.

;;;; After 3.5:
;;;  (`cperl-syntaxify-by-font-lock'): Better default, customizes to
;;;                             `message' too.

;;;; After 3.6:
;;;  (`cperl-find-pods-heres'): changed so that -d ?foo? is a RE.
;;;  (`cperl-array-face'): changed name from `font-lock-emphasized-face'.
;;;  (`cperl-hash-face'): changed name from  `font-lock-other-emphasized-face'.
;;;  Use `defface' to define these two extra faces.

;;;; After 3.7:
;;;  Can use linear algorithm for indentation if Emacs supports it:
;;;  indenting DB::DB (800+ lines) improved from 69 sec to 11 sec
;;;  (73 vs 15 with imenu).
;;;  (`cperl-emacs-can-parse'): New state.
;;;  (`cperl-indent-line'):     Corrected to use global state.
;;;  (`cperl-calculate-indent'):        Likewise.
;;;  (`cperl-fix-line-spacing'):        Likewise (not used yet).

;;;; After 3.8:
;;;  (`cperl-choose-color'):    Converted to a function (to be compilable in text-mode).

;;;; After 3.9:
;;;  (`cperl-dark-background '):        Disable without window-system.

;;;; After 3.10:
;;;  Do `defface' only if window-system.

;;;; After 3.11:
;;;  (`cperl-fix-line-spacing'):        sped up to bail out early.
;;;  (`cperl-indent-region'):   Disable hooks during the call (how to call them later?).

;;;  Now indents 820-line-long function in 6.5 sec (including syntaxification) the first time
;;;  (when buffer has few properties), 7.1 sec the second time.

;;;                               One might need to reeval the function body

;;;                               present in `cperl-indent-region' eons ago.)

;;; `cperl-use-major-mode' is (effectively) 'cperl-mode in RMS.
;;; `cperl-under-as-char'  is nil in RMS.

;;; in `cperl-find-pods-heres'. [Cosmetic]

;;;                             works after format.
;;;  (`cperl-short-docs'):      Make it work with ... too.
;;;                             "array context" ==> "list context"

;;;; After 5.1:
;;;;;; Major edit.  Summary of most visible changes:

;;;;;; b) Handles multiline subroutine declaration headers (with comments).
;;;;;;    (The exception is `cperl-etags' - but it is not used in the rest
;;;;;;    of the mode.)
;;;;;; c) Fontifies multiline my/our declarations (even with comments,
;;;;;;    and with legacy `font-lock').
;;;;;; d) Major speedup of syntaxification, both immediate and postponed
;;;;;;    (3.5x to 15x [for different CPUs and versions of Emacs] on the
;;;;;;    huge real-life document I tested).
;;;;;; e) New bindings, edits to imenu.
;;;;;; f) "_" is made into word-char during fontification/syntaxification;
;;;;;;    some attempts to recognize non-word "_" during other operations too.
;;;;;; g) Detect bug in Emacs with `looking-at' inside `narrow' and bulk out.
;;;;;; h) autoload some more perldoc-related stuff
;;;;;; i) Some new convenience features: ISpell POD/HEREDOCs, narrow-to-HEREDOC

;;; Perl6 changes by Steffen Schwigon (http://renormalist.net)
;;;
;;; Modified to understand Perl6 syntax.
;;; Details:
;;;
;;;  New config variable `cperl-use-v6' that switches between Perl5/Perl6
;;;  syntax.
;;;
;;;  Simple heuristics to automatically activate Perl6 specific syntax
;;;   * search for "use v6" or "class ..." near beginning of file
;;;   * file suffix .p6
;;;
;;;  Highlighting new keywords/builtins:
;;;    class, module, role, grammar, rule, token, regex, 
;;;    has, state, does,
;;;    say,
;;;    rx,
;;;    any, all, one, none,
;;;    returns, of,
;;;    multi/proto sub method,
;;;    given, when, default, loop,
;;;    gather, take, taken,
;;;    coro, yield,
;;;    try, err,
;;;    zip, uniq, reduce, sum, max, min, kv, pairs, type, pick,
;;;    "bit" "int" "str" "num" "ref" "bool" "Any" "Bit" "Int" "Str" "Num" "Ref",
;;;    "Complex" "Exception" "Seq" "Range" "Set" "Junction" "Pair" "Mapping" "Signature" "Capture",
;;;    "Bool" "Array" "Hash" "IO" "Code" "Routine" "Sub" "Method" "Submethod",
;;;    "Macro" "Rule" "Block" "Bare" "Parametric" "Package" "Module" "Class", "Role",
;;;    "Object" "Grammar" "List" "Lazy" "Eager",
;;;    "Real" "Scalar" "int8" "Socket"
;;;
;;;  Indentation:
;;;    recognize sub traits (returns Type, is rw, etc.)
;;;    recognize more special blocks:
;;;      START, ENTER, LEAVE, KEEP, UNDO, FIRST, NEXT,
;;;      LAST, PRE, POST, CATCH, CONTROL,
;;;      given, when, default, gather, loop,
;;;      class, module, role, grammar
;;;
;;;  Recognize if/elsif/unless/while/until/given/when/for/loop-conditions
;;;  without parens. (currently rather trivial heuristic)
;;;
;;;  New rx// quote operator for regular expressions, 
;;;  parameterized rx// modifiers like perl5<i>, nth(3), x(3)
;;;
;;;  m// and s/// similar to new rx//
;;;
;;;  `Pugs' style added.
;;;
;;;  Now only the @ and % sigils match arrays and hashes,
;;;  not the bracket or brace after it.
;;;
;;;  Brackets/braces for arrays/hashes must
;;;  have no whitespace after variable name.
;;;
;;;  No longer mark sub prototypes as string, just use ordinary highlighting.
;;;
;;;  Highlight variable names with [.:^*+?=!] after twigils (@.name, $:name, $^name, ...)
;;;
;;;  Fixed $:name was wrongly interpreted as label
;;;
;;; start block:                Put some `defvar' for stuff gone from XEmacs

;;; After 5.20:
;;; initial comment:            Extend copyright, fix email address

;;; `cperl-set-style':          Docstring missed some available styles

Subdirectory `cperl-mode' may contain yet newer development releases and/or
patches to related files.

For best results apply to an older Emacs the patches from
  ftp://ftp.math.ohio-state.edu/pub/users/ilya/cperl-mode/patches
\(this upgrades syntax-parsing abilities of RMS Emaxen v19.34 and
v20.2 up to the level of RMS Emacs v20.3 - a must for a good Perl
mode.)  As of beginning of 2003, XEmacs may provide a similar ability.

Get support packages choose-color.el (or font-lock-extra.el before
19.30), imenu-go.el from the same place.  \(Look for other files there
too... ;-).  Get a patch for imenu.el in 19.29.  Note that for 19.30 and
later you should use choose-color.el *instead* of font-lock-extra.el
\(and you will not get smart highlighting in C :-().

Note that to enable Compile choices in the menu you need to install
mode-compile.el.

If your Emacs does not default to `cperl-mode' on Perl files, and you
want it to: put the following into your .emacs file:

  (autoload 'perl-mode \"cperl-mode\" \"alternate mode for editing Perl programs\" t)

or

  (defalias 'perl-mode 'cperl-mode)

Get perl5-info from
  $CPAN/doc/manual/info/perl5-old/perl5-info.tar.gz
Also, one can generate a newer documentation running `pod2texi' converter
  $CPAN/doc/manual/info/perl5/pod2texi-0.1.tar.gz

If you use imenu-go, run imenu on perl5-info buffer (you can do it
from Perl menu).  If many files are related, generate TAGS files from
Tools/Tags submenu in Perl menu.

If some class structure is too complicated, use Tools/Hierarchy-view
from Perl menu, or hierarchic view of imenu.  The second one uses the
current buffer only, the first one requires generation of TAGS from
Perl/Tools/Tags menu beforehand.

Run Perl/Tools/Insert-spaces-if-needed to fix your lazy typing.

Switch auto-help on/off with Perl/Tools/Auto-help.

Though with contemporary Emaxen CPerl mode should maintain the correct
parsing of Perl even when editing, sometimes it may be lost.  Fix this by

  M-x norm RET

or

  \\[normal-mode]

In cases of more severe confusion sometimes it is helpful to do

  M-x load-l RET cperl-mode RET
  M-x norm RET

or

  \\[load-library] cperl-mode RET
  \\[normal-mode]

(defvar cperl-problems 'please-ignore-this-line
  "Description of problems in CPerl mode.
Some faces will not be shown on some versions of Emacs unless you
install choose-color.el, available from
  http://ilyaz.org/software/emacs

`fill-paragraph' on a comment may leave the point behind the
paragraph.  It also triggers a bug in some versions of Emacs (CPerl tries
to detect it and bulk out).

See documentation of a variable `cperl-problems-old-emaxen' for the
problems which disappear if you upgrade Emacs to a reasonably new
version (20.3 for RMS Emacs, and those of 2004 for XEmacs).")

(defvar cperl-problems-old-emaxen 'please-ignore-this-line
  "Description of problems in CPerl mode specific for older Emacs versions.

Emacs had a _very_ restricted syntax parsing engine until RMS's Emacs
20.1.  Most problems below are corrected starting from this version of
Emacs, and all of them should be fixed in RMS's version 20.3.  (Or apply
patches to Emacs 19.33/34 - see tips.)  XEmacs was very backward in
this respect (until 2003).

Note that even with newer Emacsen in some very rare cases the details
of interaction of `font-lock' and syntaxification may be not cleaned
up yet.  You may get slightly different colors basing on the order of
fontification and syntaxification.  Say, the initial faces is correct,
but editing the buffer breaks this.

Even with older Emacsen CPerl mode tries to corrects some Emacs
misunderstandings, however, for efficiency reasons the degree of
correction is different for different operations.  The partially
corrected problems are: POD sections, here-documents, regexps.  The
operations are: highlighting, indentation, electric keywords, electric
braces.

This may be confusing, since the regexp s#//#/#\; may be highlighted
as a comment, but it will be recognized as a regexp by the indentation
code.  Or the opposite case, when a POD section is highlighted, but
may break the indentation of the following code (though indentation
should work if the balance of delimiters is not broken by POD).

The main trick (to make $ a \"backslash\") makes constructions like
${aaa} look like unbalanced braces.  The only trick I can think of is
to insert it as $ {aaa} (legal in perl5, not in perl4).

Similar problems arise in regexps, when /(\\s|$)/ should be rewritten
as /($|\\s)/.  Note that such a transposition is not always possible.

The solution is to upgrade your Emacs or patch an older one.  Note
that RMS's 20.2 has some bugs related to `syntax-table' text
properties.  Patches are available on the main CPerl download site,
and on CPAN.

If these bugs cannot be fixed on your machine (say, you have an inferior
environment and cannot recompile), you may still disable all the fancy stuff
via `cperl-use-syntax-table-text-property'.")

(defvar cperl-non-problems 'please-ignore-this-line
"As you know from `problems' section, Perl syntax is too hard for CPerl on
older Emacsen.  Here is what you can do if you cannot upgrade, or if
you want to switch off these capabilities on RMS Emacs 20.2 (+patches) or 20.3
or better.  Please skip this docs if you run a capable Emacs already.

Most of the time, if you write your own code, you may find an equivalent
\(and almost as readable) expression (what is discussed below is usually
not relevant on newer Emacsen, since they can do it automatically).

Try to help CPerl: add comments with embedded quotes to fix CPerl
misunderstandings about the end of quotation:

$a='500$';      # ';

You won't need it too often.  The reason: $ \"quotes\" the following
character (this saves a life a lot of times in CPerl), thus due to
Emacs parsing rules it does not consider tick (i.e., ' ) after a
dollar as a closing one, but as a usual character.  This is usually
correct, but not in the above context.

Even with older Emacsen the indentation code is pretty wise.  The only
drawback is that it relied on Emacs parsing to find matching
parentheses.  And Emacs *could not* match parentheses in Perl 100%
correctly.  So
        1 if s#//#/#;
would not break indentation, but
        1 if ( s#//#/# );
would.  Upgrade.

By similar reasons
        s\"abc\"def\";
could confuse CPerl a lot.

If you still get wrong indentation in situation that you think the
code should be able to parse, try:

a) Check what Emacs thinks about balance of your parentheses.
b) Supply the code to me (IZ).

Pods were treated _very_ rudimentally.  Here-documents were not
treated at all (except highlighting and inhibiting indentation).  Upgrade.

To speed up coloring the following compromises exist:
   a) sub in $mypackage::sub may be highlighted.
   b) -z in [a-z] may be highlighted.
   c) if your regexp contains a keyword (like \"s\"), it may be highlighted.


Imenu in 19.31 is broken.  Set `imenu-use-keymap-menu' to t, and remove
`car' before `imenu-choose-buffer-index' in `imenu'.
`imenu-add-to-menubar' in 20.2 is broken.
A lot of things on XEmacs may be broken too, judging by bug reports I
receive.  Note that some releases of XEmacs are better than the others
as far as bugs reports I see are concerned.")

(defvar cperl-praise 'please-ignore-this-line
  "Advantages of CPerl mode.

0) It uses the newest `syntax-table' property ;-);

1) It does 99% of Perl syntax correct (as opposed to 80-90% in Perl
mode - but the latter number may have improved too in last years) even
with old Emaxen which do not support `syntax-table' property.

When using `syntax-table' property for syntax assist hints, it should
handle 99.995% of lines correct - or somesuch.  It automatically
updates syntax assist hints when you edit your script.

2) It is generally believed to be \"the most user-friendly Emacs
package\" whatever it may mean (I doubt that the people who say similar
things tried _all_ the rest of Emacs ;-), but this was not a lonely
voice);

3) Everything is customizable, one-by-one or in a big sweep;

4) It has many easily-accessable \"tools\":
        a) Can run program, check syntax, start debugger;
        b) Can lineup vertically \"middles\" of rows, like `=' in
                a  = b;
                cc = d;
        c) Can insert spaces where this impoves readability (in one
                interactive sweep over the buffer);
        d) Has support for imenu, including:
                1) Separate unordered list of \"interesting places\";
                2) Separate TOC of POD sections;
                3) Separate list of packages;
                4) Hierarchical view of methods in (sub)packages;
                5) and functions (by the full name - with package);
        e) Has an interface to INFO docs for Perl; The interface is
                very flexible, including shrink-wrapping of
                documentation buffer/frame;
        f) Has a builtin list of one-line explanations for perl constructs.
        g) Can show these explanations if you stay long enough at the
                corresponding place (or on demand);
        h) Has an enhanced fontification (using 3 or 4 additional faces
                comparing to font-lock - basically, different
                namespaces in Perl have different colors);
        i) Can construct TAGS basing on its knowledge of Perl syntax,
                the standard menu has 6 different way to generate
                TAGS (if \"by directory\", .xs files - with C-language
                bindings - are included in the scan);
        j) Can build a hierarchical view of classes (via imenu) basing
                on generated TAGS file;
        k) Has electric parentheses, electric newlines, uses Abbrev
                for electric logical constructs
                        while () {}
                with different styles of expansion (context sensitive
                to be not so bothering).  Electric parentheses behave
                \"as they should\" in a presence of a visible region.
        l) Changes msb.el \"on the fly\" to insert a group \"Perl files\";
        m) Can convert from
                if (A) { B }
           to
                B if A;

        n) Highlights (by user-choice) either 3-delimiters constructs
           (such as tr/a/b/), or regular expressions and `y/tr';
        o) Highlights trailing whitespace;
        p) Is able to manipulate Perl Regular Expressions to ease
           conversion to a more readable form.
        q) Can ispell POD sections and HERE-DOCs.
        r) Understands comments and character classes inside regular
           expressions; can find matching () and [] in a regular expression.
        s) Allows indentation of //x-style regular expressions;
        t) Highlights different symbols in regular expressions according
           to their function; much less problems with backslashitis;
        u) Allows to find regular expressions which contain interpolated parts.

5) The indentation engine was very smart, but most of tricks may be
not needed anymore with the support for `syntax-table' property.  Has
progress indicator for indentation (with `imenu' loaded).

6) Indent-region improves inline-comments as well; also corrects
whitespace *inside* the conditional/loop constructs.

7) Fill-paragraph correctly handles multi-line comments;

8) Can switch to different indentation styles by one command, and restore
the settings present before the switch.

9) When doing indentation of control constructs, may correct
line-breaks/spacing between elements of the construct.

10) Uses a linear-time algorith for indentation of regions (on Emaxen with
capable syntax engines).

11) Syntax-highlight, indentation, sexp-recognition inside regular expressions.

(defvar cperl-speed 'please-ignore-this-line
  "This is an incomplete compendium of what is available in other parts
of CPerl documentation.  (Please inform me if I skept anything.)

There is a perception that CPerl is slower than alternatives.  This part
of documentation is designed to overcome this misconception.

*By default* CPerl tries to enable the most comfortable settings.
From most points of view, correctly working package is infinitely more
comfortable than a non-correctly working one, thus by default CPerl
prefers correctness over speed.  Below is the guide how to change
settings if your preferences are different.

A)  Speed of loading the file.  When loading file, CPerl may perform a
scan which indicates places which cannot be parsed by primitive Emacs
syntax-parsing routines, and marks them up so that either

    A1) CPerl may work around these deficiencies (for big chunks, mostly
        PODs and HERE-documents), or
    A2) On capable Emaxen CPerl will use improved syntax-handlings
        which reads mark-up hints directly.

    The scan in case A2 is much more comprehensive, thus may be slower.

    User can disable syntax-engine-helping scan of A2 by setting
       `cperl-use-syntax-table-text-property'
    variable to nil (if it is set to t).

    One can disable the scan altogether (both A1 and A2) by setting
       `cperl-pod-here-scan'
    to nil.

B) Speed of editing operations.

    One can add a (minor) speedup to editing operations by setting
       `cperl-use-syntax-table-text-property'
    variable to nil (if it is set to t).  This will disable
    syntax-engine-helping scan, thus will make many more Perl
    constructs be wrongly recognized by CPerl, thus may lead to
    wrongly matched parentheses, wrong indentation, etc.

    One can unset `cperl-syntaxify-unwind'.  This might speed up editing
    of, say, long POD sections.")

(defun cperl-mode ()
  "Major mode for editing Perl code.
Expression and list commands understand all C brackets.
Tab indents for Perl code.
Paragraphs are separated by blank lines only.
Delete converts tabs to spaces as it moves back.

Various characters in Perl almost always come in pairs: {}, (), [],
sometimes <>.  When the user types the first, she gets the second as
well, with optional special formatting done on {}.  (Disabled by
default.)  You can always quote (with \\[quoted-insert]) the left
\"paren\" to avoid the expansion.  The processing of < is special,
since most the time you mean \"less\".  CPerl mode tries to guess
whether you want to type pair <>, and inserts is if it
appropriate.  You can set `cperl-electric-parens-string' to the string that
contains the parenths from the above list you want to be electrical.
Electricity of parenths is controlled by `cperl-electric-parens'.
You may also set `cperl-electric-parens-mark' to have electric parens
look for active mark and \"embrace\" a region if possible.'

CPerl mode provides expansion of the Perl control constructs:

   if, else, elsif, unless, while, until, continue, do,
   for, foreach, formy and foreachmy.

and POD directives (Disabled by default, see `cperl-electric-keywords'.)

The user types the keyword immediately followed by a space, which
causes the construct to be expanded, and the point is positioned where
she is most likely to want to be.  eg. when the user types a space
following \"if\" the following appears in the buffer: if () { or if ()
} { } and the cursor is between the parentheses.  The user can then
type some boolean expression within the parens.  Having done that,
typing \\[cperl-linefeed] places you - appropriately indented - on a
new line between the braces (if you typed \\[cperl-linefeed] in a POD
directive line, then appropriate number of new lines is inserted).

If CPerl decides that you want to insert \"English\" style construct like

            bite if angry;

it will not do any expansion.  See also help on variable
`cperl-extra-newline-before-brace'.  (Note that one can switch the
help message on expansion by setting `cperl-message-electric-keyword'
to nil.)

\\[cperl-linefeed] is a convenience replacement for typing carriage
return.  It places you in the next line with proper indentation, or if
you type it inside the inline block of control construct, like

            foreach (@lines) {print; print}

and you are on a boundary of a statement inside braces, it will
transform the construct into a multiline and will place you into an
appropriately indented blank line.  If you need a usual
`newline-and-indent' behaviour, it is on \\[newline-and-indent],
see documentation on `cperl-electric-linefeed'.

Use \\[cperl-invert-if-unless] to change a construction of the form

            if (A) { B }

into

            B if A;

\\{cperl-mode-map}

Setting the variable `cperl-font-lock' to t switches on font-lock-mode
\(even with older Emacsen), `cperl-electric-lbrace-space' to t switches
on electric space between $ and {, `cperl-electric-parens-string' is
the string that contains parentheses that should be electric in CPerl
\(see also `cperl-electric-parens-mark' and `cperl-electric-parens'),
setting `cperl-electric-keywords' enables electric expansion of
control structures in CPerl.  `cperl-electric-linefeed' governs which
one of two linefeed behavior is preferable.  You can enable all these
options simultaneously (recommended mode of use) by setting
`cperl-hairy' to t.  In this case you can switch separate options off
by setting them to `null'.  Note that one may undo the extra
whitespace inserted by semis and braces in `auto-newline'-mode by
consequent \\[cperl-electric-backspace].

If your site has perl5 documentation in info format, you can use commands
\\[cperl-info-on-current-command] and \\[cperl-info-on-command] to access it.
These keys run commands `cperl-info-on-current-command' and
`cperl-info-on-command', which one is which is controlled by variable
`cperl-info-on-command-no-prompt' and `cperl-clobber-lisp-bindings'
\(in turn affected by `cperl-hairy').

Even if you have no info-format documentation, short one-liner-style
help is available on \\[cperl-get-help], and one can run perldoc or
man via menu.

It is possible to show this help automatically after some idle time.
This is regulated by variable `cperl-lazy-help-time'.  Default with
`cperl-hairy' (if the value of `cperl-lazy-help-time' is nil) is 5
secs idle time .  It is also possible to switch this on/off from the
menu, or via \\[cperl-toggle-autohelp].  Requires `run-with-idle-timer'.

Use \\[cperl-lineup] to vertically lineup some construction - put the
beginning of the region at the start of construction, and make region
span the needed amount of lines.

Variables `cperl-pod-here-scan', `cperl-pod-here-fontify',
`cperl-pod-face', `cperl-pod-head-face' control processing of POD and
here-docs sections.  With capable Emaxen results of scan are used
for indentation too, otherwise they are used for highlighting only.

Variables controlling indentation style:
 `cperl-tab-always-indent'
    Non-nil means TAB in CPerl mode should always reindent the current line,
    regardless of where in the line point is when the TAB command is used.
 `cperl-indent-left-aligned-comments'
    Non-nil means that the comment starting in leftmost column should indent.
 `cperl-auto-newline'
    Non-nil means automatically newline before and after braces,
    and after colons and semicolons, inserted in Perl code.  The following
    \\[cperl-electric-backspace] will remove the inserted whitespace.
    Insertion after colons requires both this variable and
    `cperl-auto-newline-after-colon' set.
 `cperl-auto-newline-after-colon'
    Non-nil means automatically newline even after colons.
    Subject to `cperl-auto-newline' setting.
 `cperl-indent-level'
    Indentation of Perl statements within surrounding block.
    The surrounding block's indentation is the indentation
    of the line on which the open-brace appears.
 `cperl-continued-statement-offset'
    Extra indentation given to a substatement, such as the
    then-clause of an if, or body of a while, or just a statement continuation.
 `cperl-continued-brace-offset'
    Extra indentation given to a brace that starts a substatement.
    This is in addition to `cperl-continued-statement-offset'.
 `cperl-brace-offset'
    Extra indentation for line if it starts with an open brace.
 `cperl-brace-imaginary-offset'
    An open brace following other text is treated as if it the line started
    this far to the right of the actual line indentation.
 `cperl-label-offset'
    Extra indentation for line that is a label.
 `cperl-min-label-indent'
    Minimal indentation for line that is a label.

Settings for classic indent-styles: K&R BSD=C++ GNU PerlStyle=Whitesmith
  `cperl-indent-level'                5   4       2   4
  `cperl-brace-offset'                0   0       0   0

CPerl knows several indentation styles, and may bulk set the
corresponding variables.  Use \\[cperl-set-style] to do this.  Use
\\[cperl-set-style-back] to restore the memorized preexisting values
\(both available from menu).  See examples in `cperl-style-examples'.

Part of the indentation style is how different parts of if/elsif/else
statements are broken into lines; in CPerl, this is reflected on how
templates for these constructs are created (controlled by
`cperl-extra-newline-before-brace'), and how reflow-logic should treat
\"continuation\" blocks of else/elsif/continue, controlled by the same
variable, and by `cperl-extra-newline-before-brace-multiline',
`cperl-merge-trailing-else', `cperl-indent-region-fix-constructs'.

If `cperl-indent-level' is 0, the statement after opening brace in
column 0 is indented on
`cperl-brace-offset'+`cperl-continued-statement-offset'.

Turning on CPerl mode calls the hooks in the variable `cperl-mode-hook'
with no args.

DO NOT FORGET to read micro-docs (available from `Perl' menu,
or as help on variables `cperl-tips', `cperl-problems',
`cperl-non-problems', `cperl-praise', `cperl-speed',
