Where is perl5.syn?

Post by Ian »

:?: I've just upgraded to 4.7.1 from 4.6.2, and I see in the release notes for 4.7 that perl5.syn is required for enhanced perl syntax handling - am I being dense? I can't find perl5.syn anywhere - 2,3,4 but not 5?

This is all I can find from http://www.textpad.com/add-ons/synn2t.html ,
I'm using perl5.syn and I'm guessing it's included with TP's 4.7.1 install.

Guessing you are making the same mistake I made figuring the syntax files listed under Add-ons above stops at "G".

Helios -- should add a navigation bar (alphabet-link or "more"-link) to the foot of the file as well as having it at the top.
