++ correct answer! :)

I'm now sitting at a new system and experiencing the same effect with emacs 23.2.1 and cperl 6.2.

But this line has to be executed at startup in init.el (or .emacsrc or whatever) ...

   Note that that variable is only read at initialization time for
   the variable `cperl-font-lock-keywords-2', so changing it after you
+'ve
   entered CPerl mode the first time will have no effect.

This setting can also be done per GUI with M-x customize-group RET cperl, so no need to edit init.el manually.
