Double-click selection of variable names in Perl

[vdawg]

In Perl a variable can begin with $, %, or @. If I double-click to select a variable name, it will include the "$" of "$myvar", but it won't get the "@" of "@myarray" or the "%" of "%myhash".

You can change this as follows:

1. Click Configure > Preferences
2. Expand Document Classes
3. Expand Default
4. Click Syntax
5. In Other characters in words, enter: @%

If you want to restrict this behaviour to just Perl files, you can create a new document class for them.

Thanks -- I'll give it a try.
