in reply to EMACS: POD-Highlighting under Cperl-mode?

I was thinking that perhaps Org Mode might have a minor mode that could work for some of the linking stuff, but alas, only orgtbl-mode is available.

Since this is an itch I have, I would love to scratch it, but alas do not have the time to do this yet. Is there anyone else hacking on a solution for this general problem in emacs, perhaps using org-mode as the tool?

    Well the "easiest" solution I can see is to realize an extended POD-mode!

    One usage might be visiting the same file in different buffers with according modes ...

    Another switching modes by a keystroke (optionally folding away the "opposite" text-portions)

    Anyway my knowledge of lisp is quite reduced and I don't dare manipulating cperl-mode. AFAIS here http://math.berkeley.edu/~ilya/software/emacs/cperl-mode.el.6.2.bz2 it does mark pod-sections with a "pod-here" flag, so this could be point to intercept.

    The best lisp solution would be to ask Ilya to make cperl more modularizable, such that others could provide plugins...

    The best overall solution might be to have a CPAN-Module which builds and tests the lisp-code. ... or extending perltidy such that the html-export is interpretable for emacs ... but thats a dream.

    Cheers Rolf
