cperl-mode file mode specification error

This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Please describe as succinctly as possible: - What happened. - What you thought should have happened. - Precisely what you were doing at the time. Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have. ================================================================ Dear Bug Team! Since updating packages a week or so ago, whenever I visit a perl file, I get an error message that appears in the echo line that says: File mode specification error: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "cperl-mode") o The file's major-mode is text-mode, and it is not not fontified. o This is not the sort of error that produces a result caught by last-error, or is viewable by M-x describe-last-error, so there is no backtrace. o This happens also using xemacs --vanilla o cperl-mode seems to have disappeared from the tree entirely. Has it been replaced or renamed? ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux miles.phx.mcd.mot.com 2.2.14-5.0 #1 Tue Mar 7 21:07:39 EST 2000 i686 unknown ./configure XEmacs 21.4.0 "Solid Vapor" configured for `i686-pc-linux'.
