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 Fine-grained changelog: `cperl-hook-after-change': New configuration variable `cperl-vc-sccs-header': Likewise. `cperl-vc-sccs-header': Likewise. `cperl-vc-header-alist': Default via two preceding variables `cperl-invalid-face': Remove double quoting under XEmacs (still needed under 21.2) `cperl-tips': Update URLs for resources `cperl-problems': Likewise. `cperl-praise': Mention new features New C-c key bindings: for `cperl-find-bad-style', `cperl-pod-spell', `cperl-here-doc-spell', `cperl-narrow-to-here-doc', `cperl-perdoc', `cperl-perldoc-at-point' CPerl Mode menu changes: "Fix style by spaces", "Imenu on Perl Info" moved, new submenu of Tools with Ispell entries and narrowing. `cperl-after-sub-regexp': New defsubst `cperl-imenu--function-name-regexp-perl': Use `cperl-after-sub-regexp', Allows heads up to head4 Allow "package;" `defun-prompt-regexp': Use `cperl-after-sub-regexp', `paren-backwards-message': ???

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-e in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
