Another candidate was 'M-s i'. Discussion on emacs-devel has led me
to conclude that most people will find 'M-g i' more intuitive and thus
easier to memorize.
* lisp/bindings.el (goto-map): Bind 'imenu' to 'M-g i' globally.
* etc/NEWS: Document the change.
* doc/emacs/programs.texi (Imenu):
* lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode.el: Replace 'M-x imenu' with 'M-g i'.
My commit 3d49ad73e5 from 2021-09-143 had a flaw causing bad
fontification and indentation after anonymous subroutines with
a prototype.
* lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode.el (cperl-find-pods-heres): Correctly
process prototypes in anonymous subroutines
* test/lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode-tests.el
(cperl-test-fontify-attrs-and-signatures): new tests for various
combinations of attributes, prototypes, and signatures
* test/lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode-resources/proto-and-attrs.pl: new
test source
Replace all "A-Z" regexp literals with unicode-aware rx constructs
wherever Perl allows non-ASCII identifiers.
* lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode.el (cperl-after-sub-regexp)
(cperl-after-label. cperl-sniff-for-indent)
(cperl-find-pods-heres, cperl-indent-exp)
(cperl-fix-line-spacing, cperl-imenu--create-perl-index)
(cperl-init-faces, cperl-find-tags):
Replace ASCII regex literals by unicode-aware rx constructs.
(cperl-init-faces): Eliminate unused lexical `font-lock-anchored'.
(cperl-have-help-regexp, cperl-word-at-point-hard): Allow non-ASCII
word characters.
* test/lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode-tests.el
(cperl-test-fontify-special-variables): New test for $^T
and $^{VARNAME}.
(cperl-test-ws-rx cperl-test-ws+-rx),
(cperl-test-version-regexp, cperl-test-package-regexp): Skip
for perl-mode.
(cperl-test-identifier-rx, cperl--test-unicode-setup)

New tests for unicode identifiers.
(cperl-test-imenu-index): Add a unicode identifier to the test.
* test/lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode-resources/grammar.pl: Add a
function with non-ASCII name for imenu tests.
Following advice by Mattias Engdegård, most uses of rx-to-string
were eliminated, and rx sequences used instead to define Perl
grammar components.
* lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode.el: (cperl-block-declaration-p): New
function, replaces regexp literals.
(cperl-imenu--function-name-regexp-perl): Deleted, use rx
sequences to find imenu entries instead.
(cperl-indent-line): Use rx components instead of regexp literals.
(cperl-sniff-for-indent): use `cperl-block-declaration-p' to
increase accuracy, use rx sequence for labels to replace
inaccurate regexp literals.
(cperl-block-p): Replace inline comment by docstring. Use
`cperl-block-declaration-p'.
(cperl-after-block-p): Use `cperl-block-declaration-p'.
(cperl-after-block-and-statement-beg): Replace inline comment by
docstring.

imenu entries.

for labels.
* test/lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode-tests.el: Test rx sequences
instead of regexp strings
* lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode.el (cperl-unwind-to-safe): Replace
(and extend) inline comment by a docstring. Handle edge cases when
inserting text with elisp (related to Bug#28962).
(cperl-process-here-doc): Add syntax-type `here-doc-start'.
(cperl-find-pods-heres): Make sure that the results of this
function are immediately visible.
* test/lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode-tests.el (cperl-test-bug-14343):
Add test cases for "empty" here-documents and inserting at the
edges of a here-document.
* lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode.el (cperl-mode): Use
`cperl-font-lock-syntactic-face-function'.
(cperl-commentify): Add a docstring, eliminate unused formal
parameter `noface'.
(cperl-is-here-doc-p): New function to detect whether "<<" starts
a here-document, factored out from `cperl-find-pods-heres'.
(cperl-here-doc-functions): New variable: List of functions which
allow here-documents as parameters, for use in
`cperl-is-here-doc-p'.
(cperl-process-here-doc): New function, factored out from
`cperl-find-pods-heres'. Fixed to keep correct fontification
after non-interactive (elisp) changes (Bug#14343, Bug#28962).
(cperl-find-pods-heres): Extend the doc-string to describe all
parameters. Don't remove text properties in recursive calls on
the same line. Call `cperl-process-here-doc' when appropriate.
(cperl-font-lock-syntactic-face-function): New function to
highlight c-style comments as here-documents (adapted from
perl-mode.el).
* test/lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode-tests.el
(cperl-test-identify-heredoc): New test for the new function
`cperl-is-here-doc-p'.
(cperl-test-identify-no-heredoc): New test for the new function
`cperl-is-here-doc-p', testing constructs which start with "<<"
but are no here-documents.
(cperl-test-here-doc-missing-end): New test to verify correct
detection of a missing here-document delimiter.
(cperl-test-bug-14343): New test to verify that inserting text
into a here-document with elisp does not break fontification.
* lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode.el (cperl-find-pods-heres): Delete
?? from the allowed bare regexp delimiters.
(cperl-short-docs): Delete ?...? from the documentation.
* test/lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode-tests.el (cperl-bug-47598):
Add tests for good, bad, and ambiguous use of ? as regex
delimiter (bug#47598).
* lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode.el (cperl-electric-else): Don't expand
scalar variables like '$continue' as keywords. (Bug#47902)
* test/lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode-tests.el
(cperl-test-hyperactive-electric-else): Verify that keywords are
expanded but variable names aren't.
* lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode.el (cperl-find-pods-heres): Avoid
treating underscores as word-terminators.
* test/lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode-tests.el
(cperl-test-bug-47112): Test case for that bug (bug#47112).
* lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode.el (cperl--package-regexp):
Avoid double repetition; cperl--ws-or-comment-regexp is already
repeated with 1+.
* test/lisp/textmodes/dns-mode-tests.el
(dns-mode-tests-dns-mode-soa-increment-serial): Escape literal '$'.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/rx-tests.el (rx-regexp): Modify test to not
trigger a linting warning while retaining its testing power.
* lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode.el
(cperl-imenu-addback): Customization variable deleted. This
variable has been declared obsolete in 1998.
(cperl--basic-identifier-regexp) and many other variables:
defining regular expressions for basic Perl constructs.
(cperl-imenu--create-perl-index): This function has been
completely rewritten, keeping only some parts of the output
formatting. It now recognizes a lot more package and
subroutine declarations which came since Perl 5.14: Packages
with a version and/or a block attached, lexical subroutines,
declarations with a newline between the keyword "package" and
the package name, and several more. This version also
correctly separates subroutine names from attributes, does no
longer support "unnamed" packages (which don't exist in Perl),
and doesn't fall for false positives like stuff that looks
like a declaration in a multiline string.
(cperl-tags-hier-init): Eliminate call to
`cperl-imenu-addback` (which actually was commented out in
1997)
* test/lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode-tests.el
(cperl-test--validate-regexp) and six other new tests for the
new regular expressions and the index creation.
* test/lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode-resources/grammar.pl: New
file showcasing different syntax variations for package and
sub declarations (bug#46574).
* lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode.el: Comment out mysterious code referring
to some unknown variable 'edit-var-mode-alist'. No one seems to know
what it is used for, so comment it out and see if anyone complains
before Emacs 28.1 or 28.2.
* lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode.el (cperl-tips, cperl-problems)
(cperl-praise, cperl-speed, cperl-mode): Doc fixes; remove references
to very old versions of Emacs and other "Emaxen".
(cperl-problems-old-emaxen): Make obsolete and remove information on
Emacs 20.3 and older.
* lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode.el (cperl-init-faces): Add missing
identifiers found by static analysis of recent change.
Thanks to Mattias Engdegård <mattiase@acm.org>.
* lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode.el (cperl-init-faces): %array[0, 1]
should use the array face, not the hash one (bug#45373).
Copyright-paperwork-exempt: yes
* lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode.el (cperl-find-pods-heres): Detect
the "<<>>" operator (Bug#42455).
* test/lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode-tests.el
(cperl-test-bug-45255): Verify that <<>> does not start a
HERE-doc.
