What would be the best way to do this?
I think your best bet is to duplicate the markdown grammar and make modifications locally. It's possible though that you could get away with doing it by making a new grammar and inheriting the markdown grammar. See the textmate docs.
Incidentally, what's the point of the [/perl] part. It seems like the end of a code block is pretty unambiguous…
