I don't know that this is the right place to send this, but I can't find any mention of this in the FAQ on www.xemacs.org and this is the only email address I can find associated w/ the prog-modes package. I recently installed xemacs 21.1 on a Solaris system (SunOS 5.6) and am in the process of installing various packages to get it up to the functionality of the previous installation (19.x). However, I've run into the problem that despite having installed prog-modes (and mail-lib, xemacs-devel, and xemacs-base, as specified by the package index on the ftp site), xemacs still doesn't recognize my perl code as being perl (it just uses the fundamental mode). Is their something I have to turn on besides prog-modes-package? In case it's of any use, this is the section of my .emacs file that xemacs is using to turn various packages on: (custom-set-variables '(speedbar-package t) '(efs-package t) '(sh-script-package t) '(cperl-electric-parens t) '(text-modes-package t) '(prog-modes-package t) '(ediff-package t) '(vc-package t) '(textools-package t) '(strokes-package t) '(edit-utils-package t) '(texinfo-package t) '(time-package t) '(ispell-package t) '(pcl-cvs-package t) '(reftex-package t) '(c-support-package t) '(eudc-package t) '(debug-package t) '(apel-package t) '(mailcrypt-package t) '(tm-package t) '(hm--html-menus-package t) '(cc-mode-package t) '(auctex-package t) '(net-utils-package t) '(mail-lib-package t) '(xemacs-base-package t) '(cperl-hairy t) '(gnus-package t) '(font-lock-mode t nil (font-lock))) (custom-set-faces) Thanks, Noah Romer
