(I cross-post this in hope that eg ilya or other guru might see it
sooner. Plus ANY respondees will see posts from ALL respondees.
(yes, I know there is a religious-issue about cross-posting :-( ))
M-x cperl-indent-region: why error "no comment syntax is defined"?
----- Heading-lines of /.../cvs-emacs--6apr05/lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode.el:

(I could find no version-number in the file, but
the line-numbers via egrep -n could indicate the version):
---------------- an egrep on 'comment-start':
./progmodes/cperl-mode.el:1466: (make-local-variable 'comment-start)
./progmodes/cperl-mode.el:1467: (setq comment-start "# ")
./progmodes/cperl-mode.el:1472: (make-local-variable 'comment-start-skip)
./progmodes/cperl-mode.el:1473: (setq comment-start-skip "#+ *")
./progmodes/cperl-mode.el:1654: (let ((comment-start "#"))
./progmodes/cperl-mode.el:1661: (let ((comment-start "#"))
---- FWIW (probably nothing), I not-much-later got this error:
File mode specification error: (void-variable mode-require-final-newline)
keyboard-quit: Quit
cperl-mode: Symbol's value as variable is void: mode-require-final-newline [2
times]
Mark set
Thanks,
