That turns it off, as indicated by the message "Perl help messages will
not be automatically shown now.".

I've never used cperl-mode, but:
C-h f cperl-toggle-autohelp
-> Delay of auto-help controlled by `cperl-lazy-help-time'.
C-h v cperl-lazy-help-time
-> Its value is nil.
*Not-nil (and non-null) means to show lazy help after given idle time.
Seems like a dumb default, but there you go. So
emacs -Q --eval '(setq cperl-lazy-help-time 1)'
seems to work fine.
