I was too slow responding :/

This was patched with Bug#46024, which also has a list of other
"keywords" which have been removed from perl-mode: anon, argument,
supersede, let, and temp (sic!).
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=46024

It is still the case that perl-mode treats a few variables which have
names like "legal" perl keywords as keywords and not as variables: for
example $my, @our, %sub, &package.  That would require a different
patch, but these names are much less likely to occur in the wild.

Different symptom, but same patch: I guess this should be merged?
