This advice is outdated, because 'cperl-mode.el' is now part of the
Emacs distribution, so it's not necessary to look in the Perl source
directory.

I add the following line to Emacs to make cperl the default:
(defalias 'perl-mode 'cperl-mode)
I also have the following defaults:
(setq cperl-indent-level 4
cperl-close-paren-offset -4
cperl-brace-offset -4
cperl-label-offset 0
cperl-continued-statement-offset 4
cperl-tab-always-indent t)

Since I don't use emacs, perhaps you could rewrite the entire answer
for me :)

??? Emacs distribution contains a broken, unsupported version of
cperl-mode.el. The source directory contains a working (but
somewhat outdated) supported version.
Enough said,

The current Emacs distribution (22.1) contains a version with a
copyright of 2007, which works very well - it isn't broken. I remember
that cperl mode was broken in the previous Emacs version, and the
Emacs distribution contained an old version which had to be
replaced. The 5.10.0 Perl sources contain a version of cperl-mode.el
with a copyright of 2006. The version numbers tell a different story,
with the one in the Emacs source having a version number of 5.22 and
the one in the Perl source having a version number of 5.23. A diff
produces a large number of results which indicate that a lot of
comments have been removed from the Emacs source tree version of
cperl-mode.el, and the results of wc (count the number of lines /
words / bytes command on Unix) give similar results:
$ wc *cperl*
2535 14198 105876 cperl-mode-diff
9041 36268 331296 emacs-source-cperl-mode.el
10441 44057 393631 perlsource-cperl-mode.el
22017 94523 830803 total
What it looks like is a fork. But the above comment about
cperl-mode.el in the Emacs tree being out of date and broken is
itself now out of date.

Maybe not.

From when updating a copyright message counts as a maintainance?

Says who? Do you monitor for bug reports, and how they are "fixed"?

I have no idea what you want to say here...
Yours,
