[pm-h] turn off perl mode in emacs

[Will Willis]

If you cant find a .emacs (or .xemacs, if that's the case) then create
it in your home directory. Then add this line:

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.pl\\'" . latex-mode))

and files (and new buffers) opened with a .pl extension will open in latex-mode.
