cperl-mode on xemacs broken

[Donald S Dunbar]

I recently purchased a 17" Intel MacBook.  All is relatively well,  
except that the cperl-mode in XEmacs (my perl editor of choice) is  
now broken.  Other edit modes work fine (e.g., F90).  When I open a  
perl file I get the following message:

Fontifying region...(wrong-number-of-arguments (lambda (beg end)  
(let* ((modified ...

I'm using XEmacs vs. 21.4 (patch 15) installed from source (Fink).   
Any ideas on the source of the problem and how to repair it?  I had  
no such problem on my PowerBook.
