}Aside from a few minor indentation problems (most likely due to my personal

True enough, and I use Emacs Perl mode all the time, but remember that
ultimately they had to change Perl so that Emacs could do the right thing.
We no longer say, for example, Net'FTP, but Net::FTP.  I believe this was
done solely (or maybe just largely?) so that Emacs' Perl parser would have
an easier time.  It was quite a problem with Perl 4.

I also like Alpha's Perl mode.  Colorized keywords *and* Perl 5.  About the
only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't automatically change
tabs to spaces the way Emacs does.
