Description of problem: cperl-mode loses "understanding" of Perl syntax in a program with POD (Plain old documentation) or with here document quoting of strings. Both syntax highlighting and indentation become confused, requiring me to reload cperl-mode with the cursor in the "misunderstood" code. This is particularly the case with POD written in a number of places in the code. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 24.0.95-1.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: Too easily. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install perl-App-cpanminus-1.5007-2.fc17.noarch 2. open /usr/bin/cpanm in emacs (configured to use cperl-mode) 3. Note the syntax highlighting is broken after the POD. Actual results: Perl code after POD (and after some here document quoted strings) loses its syntax highlighting, and occasionally the indentation is made wrongly as you write code. Expected results: cperl-mode work at least as well as it did in earlier emacses (with version 23 on Fedora 16) Additional info: I have some additional code in one of my elisp files: ; Set indent style with indent of 4: (custom-set-variables '(cperl-close-paren-offset -4) '(cperl-continued-statement-offset 4) '(cperl-indent-level 4) '(cperl-indent-parens-as-block t) '(cperl-electric-parens nil) '(cperl-tab-always-indent t)) (add-hook 'cperl-mode-hook 'flyspell-prog-mode) (mapc (lambda (pair) (if (eq (cdr pair) 'perl-mode) (setcdr pair 'cperl-mode))) (append auto-mode-alist interpreter-mode-alist))
The use of apostrophes in POD affects the way that cperl-mode interprets code that follows.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
