Thank you for finding and fixing the bugs there. I think removing the para was a mistake.
I specifically added it to fix the problem I had when building the docs:

openjade:plperl.sgml:353:8:E: end tag for "PARA" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified
openjade:plperl.sgml:201:2: start tag was here

After I re-added the closing </para> in plperl.sgml:235 these errors disappeared, and the
resulting html looks fine too. v10 with just this single change is attached.
