Thank you, Gus.
With your info and some trial and error, I was successful.
Here is the result:
;; --------------- MMM FOR EMBPERL -------------------
;; I am using GNU emacs 21.3 on Sorcerer Linux (current) with
;; current GNU tools. This is the way I got mmm mode working:
;; 1) DOWNLOAD MMM
;; Download 'mmm-mode-0.4.7.tar.gz' from
;; http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mmm-mode/mmm-mode-0.4.7.tar.gz?download
;; 2) INSTALL MMM
;; Read the README and INSTALL files; ./configure, make, and
;; make install. Sheck to be sure the mmm-<whatever>.el/.elc files
;; end up in your site-lisp directory for your emacs installiation
;; (normally '<emacs-install-prefix>/share/emacs/site-lisp').
;; if not goto 2.
;; 3) INFO MMM
;; if you installed mmm correctly, you may 'info mmm' at this point
;; to read about mmm.
;; 4) STARTUP FILE(S)
;; Add the following (or some subset of it) to your '~/.emacs'
;; (for your login only) or the
;; '<emacs-install-prefix>/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el' file
;; (for everyone).
;; needed for all mmm usage
(require 'mmm-vars)
;; needed for mmm automatic mode
(require 'mmm-auto)
;; needed for Embperl
(require 'mmm-sample)
;; needed for Mason
(require 'mmm-mason)
;; now we setup mmm to automatically appear - if it is called for
(setq mmm-global-mode 'maybe)
;; I don't like background colors in my perl sections, so '0' turns
;; off all background fiddling. Up to you. See 'info mmm'.
(setq mmm-submode-decoration-level 0)
;; mmm sets perl sections to use cperl-mode by default. I perfer
;; plain perl-mode, so I include the following. Up to you.
(mmm-add-to-major-mode-preferences 'perl 'perl-mode t)
;; Here force any oddball extensions used by Embperl to html
;; I use ".epl".
(setq auto-mode-alist
(append
;; File name ends in '.epl'.
'(
("\\.epl\\'" . html-mode))
auto-mode-alist))
;; If you want automatic Embperl mmm mode for certain files
;; (you can select with a regex on name/extension or directory -
;; see 'info mmm'), include lines similar to the following:
;;(mmm-add-mode-ext-class nil "\\.epl\\'" 'embperl)
;;(mmm-add-mode-ext-class nil "\\.html\\'" 'embperl)
;; if you use the above lines, no 'mode' line is required in the
;; source file.
;; 5) SOURCE FILE MODE LINE
;; Since I use both Embperl and Mason, I use a mode line in my
;; source files; it must be the first line of the file and be
;; a 'comment' for the using application.
;; For Embperl:
;; [# -*- mode: html; mmm-classes: embperl; -*- #]
;; For Mason:
;; %# -*- mode: html; mmm-classes: mason; -*-
;; 6) PROBLEMS
;; Single-line perl constructs, i.e.: [+ $some_var +] sometimes do not
;; colorize correctly. Maybe one of you can figure this
;; one out - I couldn't.
;;
;; It has been reported that the 21.3 'font-lock.el' breaks mmm. I
;; did not find that to be the case; all of the above works with the
;; 21.3 font-lock.el. (Is this the colorize problem?)
