<p>Sorry, I'm afraid that I'm going to disappoint you...</p>
<ul><li><b>division:</b> I fail to see how a division helps with either testing with different emacs versions or finding contributors providing Perl tests. I do see, however, some overhead to set up that process and document how to use it. So that's still pretty low on my priority list.</li>
<li>Outsourcing <b>docs:</b> That is another job for Shouldbedone-Man. I don't see enough benefit right now.</li>
<li><b>info format:</b> Having convenient access to perldocs documentation from within Emacs is a valid requirement. The requirement is [href://https://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.pod-people/2005/11/msg1237.html|not exactly new], but the tool suggested in the answer to Sean's article seems to have rotted away. So it's either getting <tt>pod2info</tt> or <tt>pod2texi</tt> back to life, or ... but wait... It seems that you already [id://1211664|have a solution]. Care to share?</li>
<li>The decision to <b>drop support</b> for older and other versions hasn't be done by me, but by the Emacs maintainers, before I started to hack on cperl-mode. I've only removed some conditionals where cperl-mode worked around XEmacs quirks, or provided workarounds for old Emacs versions. I intend my work to be a drop-in replacement for the cperl-mode which comes with Emacs - or maybe even become the maintainer of cperl-mode, a position which has been vacant for quite some time now. So, no, renaming is not an option.</li>
</ul>

<p>Excellent! Please go ahead!</p>
