[TxMt] Re: textmate perl bundle

hi Sebastian Friedrich,

I am copying this reply to the textmate user list (which you can join 
at http://lists.macromates.com/mailman/listinfo/textmate), since I am 
a bit crunched for time right now.

I think this should be pretty straightforward, declaring the .heredoc 
scopes to inherit styling from html (in cases where all heredocs are 
HTML styled) or making a new .heredoc-html scope to match only names 
with "HTML" in them which then inherit from HTML styles.

Could someone on the list help out with details?

best wishes, Eric
