In my extensions to cperl-mode for Perl6 syntax (and here) I made a Perl6 like distinction between hashes and blocks in a way that no whitespace is allowed before the curlies of hashes. With that the distinction of hashes and blocks generally works better.

I always use my enhanced variant of cperl-mode also for Perl5 code due to features like this, so maybe you also give it a try.

    Thank you very much, and good to let people know, for all the others experiencing a similar problem. But you wrongly assumed I use something a .el thingie could run on: however do not fear, I'm not in "the" other camp. Amongst the two contendants I chose a third beast... :-)
