Summary: Console / ErrorList doesn't show Perl lint errors

Initial Comment:
Running the attached script with 'perl -MO=Lint SyntaxError2.pl' on Console produces the output
  Global symbol "$undefined" requires explicit package name at SyntaxError2.pl line 9.
  SyntaxError2.pl had compilation errors.
  Undefined subroutine 'defined_later' called at SyntaxError2.pl line 5

The 'undefined subroutine' comes from Perl lint. This is not highlighed as an error by Console / ErrorList because it doesn't end with a full stop.

I fixed this by changing the regex in Plugin Options --> Console to:
  (.+) at ([^<>]+) line (\d+)(\.?|, (.+))

After a quick test this patch seems to still work okay for other errors, however it would be good if someone else could try this change too, in case it has some unintended side effect.
