Re: cperl mode font-lock problems

well, i should be running with these changes, right?
I think so. Matt originally implemented them to depend on a configure
check *and* a Lisp variable, but I think I persuaded him to get rid of
both.
i still see the problems, though.
I know. :-( This could be for a number of reasons:
* I could be wrong -- maybe cperl mode doesn't use this feature to get
this effect -- perhaps it uses some other FSF Emacs feature.
* Perhaps Matt's code misbehaves for the things cperl mode uses it for
(Matt, have you ever tested it with cperl mode?)
* Perhaps cperl mode uses the syntax property in a weird way which is
actually incompatible with what we have implemented.
* Finally, perhaps it's something completely silly such as turning on
the feature being triggered with (not (string-match "XEmacs" ...)).
Matt, do you have time to investigate what's going on here?
