We've sync'd Ilya's cperl-mode in the past. If it needs to be updated,
it can be sync'd again (AFAIK, the two cperl-mode versions have
slightly diverged, indeed, but not that much: we try to keep our local
changes small).
BTW, this "problematic maintainership" is one hurdle to making
cperl-mode the default Perl mode, indeed. That's one of the reasons why
I've invested some time to improve perl-mode (even tho I don't use it
myself).
