Re^2: EMACS: POD-Highlighting under Cperl-mode?

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.

well the "other commenter" was me and I'm using emacs for nearly 20 years now (wow!), and I definitely know it should be too hard! ;)

Elisp doesn't scale well, different packages tend to to sabotage each other, inhibit portability and need plenty of maintenance.

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

Cheers Rolf

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]
