hmh, the code above did not parse. I changed it to this one, which I 
could save:

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

But it still has no effect on the toggling of quotes. Just to avoid 
miss-understandings: This is part of my personal bundle (Language 
Grammar, Grammar: source.untitled, Injection-Selector: source.perl)

Ok, thanks!  How could I create a new "target", completely unrelated to
comments. The present solution, to treat lines starting with `i` as 
comments is
more a workaround. In fact these lines are valid and executed Perl code. 
What I
really would like to see, is that they are **presented** (but not 
treated) like
comments.

Kind regards, Ingo
