Did you ever consider breaking up cperl-mode.el into different
submoduls hosted on CPAN?

It would be much easier for the perl-crowd to support patches and
maintainance if we had something like

cperl-fontlock.el
cperl-compilation.el
cperl-expansion.el
cperl-perldoc.el
...

together with a testsuite written in perl?

Would facilitate the collaboration of perl&emacs devs a lot!

For instance I'm trying to extend the compilation-regexes and some
projects like sepia.el (a perl REPL) could profit from cperl-
fontlock.el.

http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/SEANO/Sepia-0.97/Sepia.html

And sorry to say so - some aspects of cperl-mode are very outdated,
e.g there is no up-to-date info-file for perldocs.

Maybe you're interested to join at

emacs-perl-intersection@googlegroups.com

PS: BTW in xemacs I had a context-menu on right-click, offering the
cperl-mode menu do you know how to activate this in gnu emacs?
