I have had

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(fset 'perl-mode 'cperl-mode)
(custom-set-variables '(cperl-hairy t))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

in my .emacs.el for a long time.
today, after a "bzr update" and "make bootstrap", this turns font lock
_off_ instead of on.

specifically:

emacs -Q
(fset 'perl-mode 'cperl-mode)
(custom-set-variables '(cperl-hairy t))
C-x C-f foo.pl RET
==> font lock is off

emacs -Q
(fset 'perl-mode 'cperl-mode)
C-x C-f foo.pl RET
==> font lock is on.
