Outline.el: Outlining Perl is failing in a way.

[Andreas Marschke]

Hi! 

I like Emacs and I like outline.el, which I frequently use. But it has
a small caveat as I discovered recently. When using outline-minor-mode
on perl-mode with a `sub'(perl-2-lisp:sub->defun). It happens to not
fully wrap-in a function like this:
-*------------------------------------------------------------------*-
sub new {
  my ($class, %parms ) = @_;
  croak("Options to AptPkg::Repackage should be key/value pairs, not hash 
reference")
    if ref($_[1]) eq 'HASH';

  my $name = delete  $parms{name};
  my $directory = delete  $parms{directory};
  my $verbose = delete  $parms{verbose};
  $verbose = 0 unless defined $verbose;

  print "Build-directory is: ".$directory."\n" if $verbose == 1;
  print "Package-name is: ".$name."\n" if $verbose == 1;

  my $self = bless {
    Package => $name,
    PackageBuildDirectory => $directory,
    Verbose => $verbose
   },$class;

  print "Clean strings...\n" if $verbose == 1;
  $name =~ s:\ ::g if $name =~ m:\ :;
  $directory =~ s:/$::g if $directory =~ m:/$:;

  print "Build-directory is: ".$directory."\n" if $verbose == 1;
  print "Package-name is: ".$name."\n" if $verbose == 1;

  $PackageName = $name;
  $PackageBuildDirectory = $directory."/".$name;
  files();
  return $self;
}
-*------------------------------------------------------------------*-
it only wraps it untill a point like this:
-*------------------------------------------------------------------*-
sub new {...
    Package => $name,
    PackageBuildDirectory => $directory,
    Verbose => $verbose
   },$class;

  print "Clean strings...\n" if $verbose == 1;
  $name =~ s:\ ::g if $name =~ m:\ :;
  $directory =~ s:/$::g if $directory =~ m:/$:;

  print "Build-directory is: ".$directory."\n" if $verbose == 1;
  print "Package-name is: ".$name."\n" if $verbose == 1;

  $PackageName = $name;
  $PackageBuildDirectory = $directory."/".$name;
  files();
  return $self;
}

-*------------------------------------------------------------------*-

Is this fixable? Who is actually the maintainer/developer of
outline.el at the moment? I only found an attribution that it is part
of EMACS and that its © goes to the FSF. What about the person who
wrote it?
