[pm-h] turn off perl mode in emacs

[Will Willis]

Chances are, your .emacs file has cperl-mode associated with *.p[l|m]
files on start. Look in that file, see what it's doing, e.g.:

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

then just change cperl-mode to whatever mode you want.
