Looks like the definition of the 'iskeyword' setting changed. Let's look
into perls filetype plugin ($VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/perl.vim):

,----
| " The following line changes a global variable but is necessary to
make

incorrect.

| set isfname+=:
| set iskeyword+=:
`----

So create a new file ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/perl.vim (create non-existing
directories)
and insert

:set iskeyword-=:

That should make it work for you again.

Best,
Christian
