Thankyou! I didn't mean to denigrate textmate, but had been wondering why things didn't look as nice as I thought they should, when I realized the regex was causing problems!
Thanks again. -thomas

I was trying to figure out why the syntax highlighting in perl sucked so

Paste this into file (e.g. test.pl) and view in textmate. Does the 2nd
function hilight correctly? It is the /\/ regex I think - comment the first one out and watch the hilighting change.
sub fn() { # some perl code my $f = shift; if( $f =~ /\/ ) { my $var = "Hello"; } }
sub fn2() { # some perl code my $f = shift; if( $f =~ /\/ ) { my $var = "Hello"; } }
Hi Thomas,
syntax highlighting for Perl is not so easy but in that case you can fix the highlighting if you simply make usage of the "standard" syntax in the if clauses:
... my $f = shift; if( $f =~ m/\\/ ) { ....write m// instead of // .
