Re: EMACS: POD-Highlighting under Cperl-mode?

I don't know of anything that does this now. You might try mumamo or mmm-mode, both of which allow multiple major modes to coexist in a single buffer. If, as another commenter said, cperl-mode marks POD regions as such, and if you know a bit of elisp, then it shouldn't be too hard to write what you want. If not, it's a great opportunity to learn how to customize your editor.

A minor mode which hooks reliably well into cperl-mode including clickable URLs would take man-weeks for me to achieve ! Cheers Rolf	[reply]

On the other hand, customization in Emacs is not divided into a crippled configuration file and a byzantine plugin interface. Sure, Emacs is a big ball of mud, but I would rather play with a ball of mud lovingly shaped by actual programmers than a tower of stone crafted by enterprise architects.	[reply]
