perl5.syn coloring doesn't work

[jmcrowther]

Problems with perl5.syn coloring text properly with TextPad 4.7.1

Examples:

Code: Select all

$cmd =~ s/'/'"'"'/g;

Here the quotes and double quotes are confusing the colorizer to think they are comments, but they are really just characters inside a regex.

Code: Select all

my ($build) = @_;

Here the "$b" is colored as a system variable (royal blue) and the "uild" remains black.

The older perlN.sync files work better, so I'm abandoning perl5.syn
