No documentation for how to install cperl-mode

[era eriksson]

I was looking for a simple way -- say, in Customize -- to express my
preference for cperl-mode over perl-mode.  It seems there isn't one.
Is it really so that you still have to find the (fset 'perl-mode
'cperl-mode) hack in Google in order to properly start using
cperl-mode?  If so, consider this a wishlist bug for a simple
Customize preference to hook this into your .emacs without writing (or
copy+pasting :^) any Lisp code yourself.
