Subject: 28.2; CPerl mode: bad coloring when a comment block is used
Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2023 04:05:47 +0200

When a comment block is used, i.e.

=begin comment

[code to comment]

=end comment

=cut

as described in the perlfaq7 man page, after some edition, everything
starting at the "=begin comment" line is in the comment color, even
the code after the "=cut" line (which is no longer commented code).

To reproduce the bug:

1. Create a file with

----------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env perl

foo;

=begin comment

bar;

=end comment

=cut

print "OK\n";
----------------------------------------

2. Open it with "emacs -Q".
3. M-x cperl-mode
4. Go to the beginning of line "foo;".
5. C-k
6. Go to the beginning of line "bar;".
7. C-y

At step 7, the color of the line

  print "OK\n";

changes to the comment color.

This occurs whether the Emacs X11 interface is used or not.
And this bug is still reproducible with cperl-mode.el from
the Git master branch.
