Documentation

Note that to enable Compile choices in the menu you need to install mode-compile.el.

If your Emacs does not default to cperl-mode on Perl files, and you want it to: put the following into your .emacs file:

  (defalias 'perl-mode 'cperl-mode)

Get perl5-info from
  $CPAN/doc/manual/info/perl5-old/perl5-info.tar.gz
Also, one can generate a newer documentation running pod2texi converter
  $CPAN/doc/manual/info/perl5/pod2texi-0.1.tar.gz

If you use imenu-go, run imenu on perl5-info buffer (you can do it from Perl menu). If many files are related, generate TAGS files from Tools/Tags submenu in Perl menu.

If some class structure is too complicated, use Tools/Hierarchy-view from Perl menu, or hierarchic view of imenu. The second one uses the current buffer only, the first one requires generation of TAGS from Perl/Tools/Tags menu beforehand.

Run Perl/Tools/Insert-spaces-if-needed to fix your lazy typing.

Switch auto-help on/off with Perl/Tools/Auto-help.

Though CPerl mode should maintain the correct parsing of Perl even when editing, sometimes it may be lost. Fix this by

  M-x normal-mode (normal-mode)

In cases of more severe confusion sometimes it is helpful to do

  M-x load-library (load-library) cperl-mode RET
  M-x normal-mode (normal-mode)

Before reporting (non-)problems look in the problem section of online micro-docs on what I know about CPerl problems.
