That's strange -- and I can't reproduce. What version of TM are you using? And you're sure the problem isn't with your tab-key (making two tabs)? ;)
- escaping the $! with something like $! has no effect; it always
inserts '!n'. I even tried \n and variations thereof with $! to no effect.
It should be “$!\n”.
I'm not sure if this is a side effect of the Perl syntax rules/bundle [...]
Shouldn't be.
As a side note, I want $1 and $3 to be the same thing; is it enough to just call 'em both $1?
Yes, I changed your snippet to this:
open($1, "$2") or die "Can't open file: $!\n"; while(<$1>) { $3 }
Here's how it looks when I use it: http://macromates.com/movies/perl_snippet.mov
