q-ish quotes need a space to syntax color properly.

[matthewpersico]

Using the latest here, typing q(a string) does not highlight the 'q'. Ditto qx,qr, etc. Putting a space in there, i.e. q (a string) highlights the q. I tried to figure out where it's happening but to no avail. What's even worse is that 18 months ago, I DID figure it out and fix it, but I left that code at an old job and I'm not sure now if I fixed this version or the one in the SUMO or the one that is embedded in XEmacs proper. Any idea where I can start looking so I can try to reproduce my fix?

Works for me.

I'm also seeing it work, and don't recall any funny business with that.

The code is very hairy, though, so I'm sure it breaks under some cases :)

I'm using XEmacs 21.5.34, dated June 2013. I'm using the cperl-mode.el from the xemacs-sumo-2010-07-27 which has this identifying mark:

;; $Id: cperl-mode.el,v 6.2 2008/04/14 23:14:52 vera Exp vera $

Am I out of date?

Am I mismatched with XEmacs version?

There appear to be some workarounds for XEmacs in the code, but I don't
really understand those and am guessing that they're causing problems here
:)

Honestly, they can probably be removed. You might give that a try and send
me a pull request if it fixes the problem. I don't care too much about
support XEmacs from 1993 ;)

I tend to close this issue soon as 'wontfix' for cleanup reasons. Feel free to object...
