Oh - thanks for the reminder.  I forgot that this bug has the "patch"
tag set.

I did make progress - but not enough (yet) and also in a slightly
different direction.

That patch rolled three different stories into one:
 1) replace regex strings by rx forms as suggested by Mattias
 2) fix some indentation bugs (but broke some fontification regexes)
 3) start a mechanism to allow cperl-mode to understand syntax
    extensions.

This wasn't a good idea.

I'd like to split that into at least three separate commits (which I can
do by myself now, since I'm a member of the Emacs group now.  Thanks!).

I suggest to throw this patch away.  There's no specific bug in this bug
report number 46889.  I used the bug mechanism to provide a patch
without commit rights, but that path is no longer needed.  When a commit
fixes one of the old open bugs, I can just report that in the commit
message.

Thanks for your patience!
