[TxMt] syntax highlighting in perl bundle

[Barry Walsh]

LOL... ignore that lilomuck bit!   Thats me just playing around with 
grammar file in Textmate to make it easier for me to spot how it all worked!

This is the correct lines in question.....

        {    comment = 'string.regexp.replace.perl';
            begin = '\b(?=(s)(\s+\S|\s*[;\,\#\{\}\(\)\[<]|$))';
            end = '((([egimosx]*)))(?=(\s+\S|\s*[;\,\#\{\}\)\]>]|$))';
            endCaptures = {
                1 = { name = 'string.regexp.replace.perl'; };
                2 = { name = 'punctuation.definition.string.perl'; };
                3 = { name = 'keyword.control.regexp-option.perl'; };
            };


Now what context this bit of grammar is really for I don't know.   From 
what I can see the other examples I gave don't use above. 

Perhaps the original author of this grammar can shed light on this and 
make the proper changes.
