Well the main problem is, we as emacs favouring perl people, want to be able
to say with confidence "use emacs for Perl, it's really good" and not "use
emacs for Perl, it's really good! But first you need to make these changes
to your .emacs file". Obviously those of us in the know are fine, but we're
trying to improve the experience for others. 

If that's not a good enough reason to upset the apple cart I will happily
crawl back under my rock. It's just a shame not to be able to evangelise on
a level playing field with advocates for other editing solutions.
