what is the best form, to change/adapt the highlighting of ons own often-used functions?

E.g. if I have a Perl sub called `i` (printing some debug-info to stdout) and to be used e.g.

i 'Starting ifgrp store ...';

And if would like to have these lines formatted like a comment (grey, italics) so that it survives changes in the Perl-Bundle including reinstallations of TM2. Where and how would someone define that?

My guess is, to place it in my own Bundle and to use something like

		begin = '^\s*';
	end   = ';\s*$'; # trailing white space may occure

But I can't figure out the details.

In your own bundle create a new grammar, I did the following (for testing):

{ patterns = ( { name = 'comment.line.debug.perl'; match = "\bi '.*';"; }, ); }

Then in the side bar set “Injection Selector” to “source.perl”.

This will inject the above rule into the Perl grammar.
