Gosh!
I've tested that if I enable cperl-mode in the original buffer, then
the indirect buffer inherits the syntax highligthing also for new
code.

It is a little too complex for me to understand it.
Another idea could be to use a normal buffer, narrowed to the region I
would like to have. The problem is that clone-buffer cannot be used
for a file visiting buffer.
Any idea?
