Re: Cperl-mode does not highlight function names properly

[Richard Stallman]

    Speaking of perl-mode, Richard told me that this mode is obsolete
    and shall be deprecated.

I hoped that CPerl mode would always be better than Perl mode, but
that turned out not to be the case (not yet).  And the author of CPerl
mode lost interested in maintaining it.  So unless someone else takes
it over and fixes the problems, we cannot consider Perl mode obsolete.
