Don't perl-mode and cperl-mode live on 2 separate files?  We generally
have a structure under test/ that mirrors the file hierarchy of the
sources being tested, so it would be natural to have 2 separate files,
test/lisp/progmodes/perl-mode-tests.el and
test/lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode-tests.el.

Does that answer your question?
