Emacs and Perl syntax compile

[Harter, Douglas]

I am creating a good many Perl scripts on a Unix using emacs.

Can someone tell me what I need in my .emacs to do Perl syntax compiles from
emacs and allow compilation mode to handle the errors?

Perl syntax compiles?

Do you mean perl -c? It ought to be sufficient to set the variable
compile-command, perhaps from a mode hook:

(defun douglas-perl-setup ()
(setq compile-command (format "perl -c %s" (buffer-file-name))))
(add-hook 'perl-mode-hook 'douglas-perl-setup)

If you use cperl mode instead of perl mode, replace perl-mode-hook
with cperl-mode-hook.

I do this to set up C-c C-c to do the compile:

;;Compilation mode for perl files
(require 'compile)
(add-to-list 'compilation-error-regexp-alist '(".* \\([-a-zA-Z._/]+\\) line
\\([0-9]+\\)." 1 2))
(defun perl-compile (&optional prefix)
"Compile perl file"
(interactive "P")
(let* ((include-path (if (eq window-system 'w32) "-I%SP%" "-I$SP"))
(compile-command (concat "perl "include-path " -cw "
(buffer-file-name)))
(compilation-read-command prefix))
(call-interactively 'compile)))
(require 'perl-mode)
(require 'cperl-mode)
(define-key perl-mode-map "\C-c\C-c" 'perl-compile)
(define-key cperl-mode-map "\C-c\C-c" 'perl-compile)

So far, so good.

Why not just:

(add-hook 'perl-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(set (make-local-variable 'compile-command)
(format "perl %s -cw %s"

(if (eq window-system 'w32) "-I%SP%" "-I$SP")

(file-name-nondirectory buffer-file-name)))))

Can perl-mode and cperl-mode be used simultaneously?

When compile-command is buffer local, you can just bind a key to the
normal compile command.

At least in Emacs-CVS they can.

There is `mode-compile.el', now at version 2.28 of 2003/04/01,
available from

http://www.tls.cena.fr/~boubaker/Emacs/

I haven't tried it yet, but it is mentioned in cperl-mode
documentation:

Note that to enable Compile choices in the menu you need to install
mode-compile.el.
