Ah, sorry. This would make sense, of course.

Sure, that would help. And it would be even cooler, if one could make
Emacs recognize once the cursor is in a perl-block and have it
automagically switch to perl-mode ....

Acutally, I am sure this IS possible (because what isn't in Emacs), if
one was a lisp-hacker ...

But enough day-dreaming ...

Cheers,
