Merge from upstream, upto version 5.22.
After 5.0:
`cperl-add-tags-recurse-noxs-fullpath': new function (for -batch mode)
After 5.1:
;; Major edit. Summary of most visible changes:
;; a) Multiple <<HERE per line allowed.
;; 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
;; j) Attempt to incorporate XEmacs edits which reached me

96 Many commands have been removed from the menus or rearranged. | |
97 | |
98 @item | |
99 The @kbd{C-h} (help) subcommands have been rearranged---especially | |
100 those that display specific files. Type @kbd{C-h C-h} to see a list | |
101 of these commands; that will show you what is different. | |
102 | |
103 @item | |
104 The @kbd{C-h v} and @kbd{C-h f} commands no longer show a hyperlink to | |
105 the C source code, even if it is available. If you want to find the | |
106 source code, grep for it. | |

109 The apropos commands will not accept a list of words to match, in | |
68684 | 110 order to encourage you to be more specific. Also, the user option |
60787 | 111 @code{apropos-sort-by-scores} has been removed. |

60787 | 118 Minibuffer completion commands always complete the entire minibuffer |
119 contents, just as if you had typed them at the end of the minibuffer, | |
120 no matter where point is actually located. | |
121 | |

123 The command @code{backward-kill-sexp} is now bound to @kbd{C-M-delete} | |
124 and @kbd{C-M-backspace}. Be careful when using these key sequences! | |
125 It may shut down your X server, or reboot your operating system. | |

128 Commands to set the mark at a place away from point, including | |
129 @kbd{M-@@}, @kbd{M-h}, etc., don't do anything special when you repeat | |
130 them. In most cases, typing these commands multiple times is | |
131 equivalent to typing them once. @kbd{M-h} ignores numeric arguments. | |

137 @kbd{C-@key{SPC} C-@key{SPC}} has no special meaning--it just sets the | |

139 point and mark like @kbd{C-x C-x}. | |
140 | |

142 The function @code{sentence-end} has been eliminated in favor of a | |
143 more straightforward approach: directly setting the variable | |
144 @code{sentence-end}. For example, to end each sentence with a single | |
145 space, use | |
146 | |

60787 | 186 When a file is managed with version control, the command @kbd{C-x C-q} |
187 (whose general meaning is to make a buffer read-only or writable) now | |
188 does so by checking the file in or out. Checking the file out makes | |
189 the buffer writable; checking it in makes the buffer read-only. | |
25829 | 190 |
60787 | 191 You can still use @kbd{C-x v v} to do these operations if you wish; |
192 its meaning is unchanged. If you want to control the buffer's | |
193 read-only flag without performing any version control operation, | |
194 use @kbd{M-x toggle-read-only}. | |
