I agree with you, that's what I was trying to say about the finger
habits.  Most of what I want out of cperl mode is indenting and font
lock, both of which I use as a hint that there's a syntax problem
somewhere nearby.  Things like whether to cuddle elses (is this an
adult oriented list?) and where braces go are all on me (and soon on
perltidy...).
