Subject: Don't recommend using `cperl-hairy`
X-Git-Url: http://git.eshelyaron.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=82eb4f00203f912cc0be902c8151c07c4792425d;p=emacs.git

Don't recommend using `cperl-hairy`

Enabling `cperl-hairy` makes cperl-mode break many Emacs conventions
and can be confusing to new users.  Let's not say that this is the
"recommended mode of use", instead leaving it up to the user.

* lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode.el (cperl-mode): Don't recommend using
`cperl-hairy'.
