CPerl mode for Emacs is now on GNU ELPA

    This was also announced on blogs.perl.org

    Since almost forever, Emacs supports editing Perl sources with CPerl mode. As of now, CPerl mode is not only shipped with Emacs, but also available on GNU ELPA. ELPA stands for Emacs Lisp Package Archive, it is for Emacs what CPAN is for Perl. This means that to use the newest CPerl mode, you do not have to wait for the next Emacs version: If you use `M-x list-packages`, you should see cperl-mode in the list and can install it if you have Emacs 27 or newer.

    The current version of CPerl mode supports Perl syntax up to Perl 5.44.

    For bug reports and change requests, you can use `M-x report-emacs-bug` from within Emacs (be sure to add "cperl-mode" to the subject), or create an issue on my GitHub mirror. Development will not happen on GitHub, though, this happens in the GNU Emacs repository at savannah.

    Happy hacking!

    Something's very wrong with PerlMonks caching, I guess. When I click on RAT in the top menu, I see the page as if it were viewed by erzuuli, including personal messages (I didn't read them, just checked they existed).

    When I click on a link, I'm back to my account again.

    Here is a proof.

    Update: Newest Nodes shows me the page as viewed by Anonymous Monk. So, I have no way of checking the new nodes I haven't read yet.

    Update 2: It seems I can view RAT when using the node id in the address. But also, when I click on "Edit" on this node, it shows me a cached version without the updates. I had to include "/bare/" in the address to fool the cache to show me a fresh copy. So, this is probably the last update I can make.

    Update 3: I can make one more, by removing index.pl from the address ;-)

    Update 4: I could make infinitely many by appending ;a=123 etc. at the end of the address. The problem was no one would see them anyway, as they all saw the cached version without updates I had seen at the beginning.
