I cannot remember using features specific to Emacs-22 in perl-mode, but
I can't guarantee that it will work with Emacs-21 either.

If it doesn't work, it should be pretty easy to make it work, tho.
In any case, I'd first lobby Ubuntu to include an emacs22 package since that
will give you other improvements at the same time.
