That would be useful; I'd like to make certain that cperl isn't
using any other renamed variables.
I'll do that at some point.

Aliasing would be fine with me, but I don't think I'd ever use
anything other than the GNU Emacs-compatible ones. As long as it is
possible to write code that works on both Emacsen without sprinkling
conditionals all over the place, however, I'll be happy.
Alright, it's on my todo list. I suspect this will happen at about the
same time as compiling the list of variables.

4.32, but taken from the xemacs-packages tree. I'm not certain if
there are changes from the baseline 4.32; I may hunt down the latest
non-XEmacs-specific cperl and try that.
That's probably not necessary. I have the same version, and I don't see
any point in using the non-XEmacs one.
