-(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 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.")
