Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the [email protected] mailing
list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

In CPerl-Mode the '<' inside a while statement completes not only to
'<>' which is fine, but adds another set of brackets, so that you end up
with
--- example start
while (<>) {
} ( ) {
}
--- example end
instead of the reasonble
--- example start
while (<>) {

}
--- example end
what was the result in former versions.

To duplicate this I started emacs with '-Q' and loaded a file containing
-- start of file
(autoload 'cperl-mode  "cperl-mode" t t)
(setq cperl-hairy t)            ; Alle Features on
(setq cperl-indent-level 4)
(setq cperl-auto-newline t)     ; Einrueckung und Leerzeile bei ';' usw.
(setq auto-mode-alist
      (append '(("\\.\\([pP][Llm]\\|al\\)$" . cperl-mode))
auto-mode-alist ))
-- end of file
the CPerl configuration I have used for a few years

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
d:/bin/emacs/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
