In your own bundle create a new grammar, I did the following (for 
testing):

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

Then in the side bar set “Injection Selector” to “source.perl”.

This will inject the above rule into the Perl grammar.
