The problem exists in upstream CPerl as well.  The bug arises from line
3763 (cperl-electric-paren):

  (if (eq last-command-char ?<)
      (progn
        (and abbrev-mode ; later it is too late, may be after `for'
             (expand-abbrev))
        (cperl-after-expr-p nil "{;(,:="))
    1))

Because one abbrev expansion already takes place when typing "while ",
this code leads to another, extra expansion.  Removing the
(and abbrev-mode...) expression fixes the problem.
