Thanks, Adam. This library was already being loaded, but I'm such an
emacs newbie that I didn't realize that I needed to put
imenu-add-menubar-index in my .emacs file to activate this
functionality. A piece of companion functionality that I forgot to ask
about comes by adding which-func-mode (as defined in which-func.el)
which shows on the mode-line the name of the function in which the
point resides. I added these two commands to perl-mode-hook (and to
c-mode-hook and shell-mode-hook). So now I'm happy...
Thanks again,
Peyton
