I have no such problems here.

Is this only happening with perl, or does it affect other files as well?


I wrote and maintain the perl syntax file, and highlighting perl is a complex 
task. I am about 85% happy with it, and it does render about 95% of all perl 
code I tried correctly, apart from (by me) known issues.

If you have problems with specific perl code, please send me a sample.
