Grab the latest version though. I'm running 4.32 and it's been much
improved. The author doesn't recommend XEmacs though.

"Get newest version of this package from
ftp://ftp.math.ohio-state.edu/pub/users/ilya/emacs
and/or
ftp://ftp.math.ohio-state.edu/pub/users/ilya/perl
Subdirectory `cperl-mode' may contain yet newer development releases and/or
patches to related files.
For best results apply to an older Emacs the patches from
ftp://ftp.math.ohio-state.edu/pub/users/ilya/cperl-mode/patches
\(this upgrades syntax-parsing abilities of RMS Emaxen v19.34 and
v20.2 up to the level of RMS Emacs v20.3 - a must for a good Perl
mode.) You will not get much from XEmacs, it's syntax abilities are
too primitive.
Get support packages choose-color.el (or font-lock-extra.el before
19.30), imenu-go.el from the same place. \(Look for other files there
too... ;-). Get a patch for imenu.el in 19.29. Note that for 19.30 and
later you should use choose-color.el *instead* of font-lock-extra.el
\(and you will not get smart highlighting in C :-().
