cperl-mode.el: twigils and opers

[Trey Harris]

This has been driving me mad, and an hour of hacking at cperl-mode.el has 
only convinced me that I don't know elisp well enough to solve the 
problem


Variables with twigils whose name matches something else are getting 
recognized incorrectly.  For example, $.x is getting interpreted as $. 
followed by the x operator, $.system as $. and system, and so on.  Worst 
of all are $.s, $.y, $.q and so on, because emacs is looking for the 
closing quote, wrecking all the syntax highlighting and indention from 
then on.  It also appears that @.foo and %.foo aren't being interpreted 
correctly either, even when foo doesn't match anything else.


This observation is of the cperl-mode.el from the pugs repository.

Can anyone help fix cperl-mode with twigils?

Yes. (Actually, you could have done this yourself, but I was already making
several other additions.)

By the way, I want to encourage you and others to post Wiki-related
questions directly to perl.perl6.users, where anyone who is interested can
respond or do something. That's why I'm also replying to the mail list. I'm
just a big Perl 6 Wiki proponent, but not {a manager, moderator, expert,
admin, or anything like that}.

Anyway, please see:
http://rakudo.org/perl6/index.cgi?cpan6
This page now provides an overview of CPAN6.
Since this is a public Wiki, you and your friends can add whatever you want
here. (There is a very simple one-time registration process to get started.)

And see "Related Projects" at:
http://rakudo.org/perl6/index.cgi 
This now links to the above page, and to cpan6.org. 

And see "Other Parrot projects (not language-specific)" at:
http://rakudo.org/parrot/index.cgi?parrot 
This now mentions Tim Bunce's DBI-on-Parrot.

Other items of interest (to the mail list):

Dave Rolsky made a great start at reorganizing the following page:
http://rakudo.org/perl6/index.cgi?the_long_perl_6_super_feature_list
Anyone else care to follow up?

I've added a section on "Upcoming Perl 6-Related Events" under "The Latest
Perl 6 Info" on the Perl 6 Wiki home page:
http://rakudo.org/perl6/index.cgi?perl_6
Please add upcoming events of interest.
