If you prefer writing in French, there is also a French newsgroup
related to Emacs : fr.comp.application.emacs.

I don't think so: removing it doesn't change the observed behavior.

You can use cperl mode instead of perl, it is a bit more powerful. The
simplest way to do so is by adding this line to .emacs:

(defalias 'perl-mode 'cperl-mode)

A quick test shows that your example works better with cperl mode.
