barvin has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I think I've found a bug in cperl-mode.el, but I don't program enough lisp to offer a solution. I don't know where to submit this as a cperl-mode bug report, so I'll ask here: Does anyone have a suggestion of where I should report the following bug?

I have cperl-mode.el.5.22 from http://math.berkeley.edu/~ilya/software/emacs/

I have emacs GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2006-05-02 on hs20-bc1-4.build.redhat.com

The following perl code won't auto-indent after the assignment to $a:

#!/usr/bin/ perl my $a = " ()"; for (@a) { };

Because '()' appears on in a multi-line string and not on the first line.

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    Use M-x report-emacs-bug. Alternatively, the maintainer is Ilya Zakharevich (according to EmacsWiki).
