There is definitely a better way, since changing word characters would 
affect word movement, buffer completion, and other things that rely on 
word definitions.

Looking at the command this is what it does:

	word=${TM_SELECTED_TEXT:-$TM_CURRENT_WORD}

A quick fix is to change that line to the following:

	word=$(ruby18 -r"$TM_SUPPORT_PATH/lib/current_word" -e"puts 
Word.current_word(':A-Za-z')")

This calls the `current_word` function from the bundle support bundle. 
This function looks at the `TM_CURRENT_LINE` and `TM_LINE_INDEX` 
variables and then extracts the word surrounding the caret based on the 
allowed characters (passed as its argument).

Can you tell me if the above character range would be correct for perl?

Also, how do I install perl documentation? For me, perldoc reports “no 
documentation” for my tests (though the command suppresses that, so 
it’s effectively a no-op, another thing that I’d like to get fixed).
