[ jEdit-users ] perl syntax glitch (workaround wanted)

[Chris P. <li...@fo...>]

I've been running into a rather annoying glitch in the perl syntax module 
that I'm pretty sure is related to the current implementation of the 
syntax engine..  anyway, this isn't a request for the engine to be updated 
(since I know it's already on the todo list) but rather a request to any 
of the perl programmers out there to see if they have come up with a 
workaround...

my problem is this..  I have a has element that's also an array:

@{$hash{field}}

pretty standard stuff...   anyway, currently, the @{ triggers jEdit to 
highlight all of the text up to } which is fine and dandy if I'm doing 
something like   @{$variable}, but in this case, the } after "field" is 
used, leaving the program to interpret the trailing } as a code-block 
brace, which completely screws up the code block identification pretty 
much from that point onward....

Anyway, has anyone else gotten annoyed enough at this to actually find a 
workaround?  or find out if there isn't one?
