To make toggling quotes work, add proper scope to the string part, e.g.:

	{	patterns = (
		{	name = 'comment.line.debug.perl';
			match = '\bi ((''.*'')|(".*")|(q{.*})|(qq{.*}));';
		},
		captures = {
			2 = { name = 'string.quoted.single'; };
			3 = { name = 'string.quoted.double'; };
			4 = { name = 'string.quoted.other.q.perl'; };
			5 = { name = 'string.quoted.other.qq.perl'; };
		};
	);

As for formatting, this would need to be added to the current theme (or 
possibly as global settings).

Here you would target `comment.line.debug.perl` in the theme.
