Re^5: Some thoughts around the "is Perl code maintainable" discussion by grep (Monsignor) on Aug 12, 2007 at 23:41 UTC
I assume you didn't expect me to actually look... but I did. I used SOAP version 0.28, emacs 21.4.1 with it's current version of cperl-mode. I looked at SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Apache SOAP::Transport::HTTP::CGI SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Client SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Server I saw no mistakes in syntax highlighting. So unless you have a specific complaint, I would suggest checking out your assertion before you post. I'll be quite happy to post screen shots if needed. grep	[reply]

I just scrolled through the whole file. I have almost the same versions. I see breakage that seems to be caused by mis-parses of string termination... not vim-bad... but still broken ;) Could you post that screenshot somewhere so that I may compare it? Update: Is it possible that I've mis-configured something and it's falling back to perl-mode ? I'll be the first to admit I'm not an emacs expert. Only really been using it for 3 months (to play with lisp and slime). I'm much more comfortable in vim (even with its really weak syntax-highlighting). I've been using it for 10+ years so it's just what I'm used to i guess. My fingers are still not used to hitting the control/alt-keys so much. Update 2: Nevermind. It seems my lisp skills are quite sub-par :( Latest ntemacs and latest cperl-mode (+ actually following instructions) seems quite fine. Thanks grep, for making me check my facts! -David.	[reply]
