But either you didn't mention or I didn't notice that the bug is also absent
from the original cperl-mode.el.  I'm not really interested in fixing
cperl-mode bugs, but I do find it important that our local changes to
cperl-mode don't add new bugs.

He acknowledges them (along the lines of "OK, I'll check later whether these
are appropriate for my version").
