[SVN] bundle regexp question

[Eric Hsu]

I was trying to fix the Perl bundle to support the qq function which  
allows new quotes like

qq!I am an
"annoying" new line
quote!;

using

         {    name = "string.unquoted.qq";
             begin = "qq(.)";
             end = "\\1";
             swallow = "\\\\.";
         },

I got it to work almost perfectly. However, the 'qq' gets  
highlighted, which looks slightly silly to me. I tried to add

     patterns = ( { match = "\\1\\b.*\\b\\1"; } );

to the search, which resulted in sporadic crashing and console error  
messages

Anyway, I'm taking suggestions about what to do about the qq and also  
making a note to Allan that this is another obscure way to crash TM.

best, Eric
