Different syntax highlight color for String and StringAlt

Post by johnwnowlin »

Because PERL "String" and 'StringAlt' behave differently it would be useful to be able to display them with different colors.

Hi, new to the forum and done some searching, and found this and wondered if this has been addressed at all.

I have temporarily solved this ( I think ) by having highlighting CharStart / CharEnd as '.

However, given that perl also support qw{}, q{} and qq{} I wondered if there is a way to highlight these uses in different colours?

Thanks.
