When the "Comment" character is part of the syntax
Dear Yutaka,

In Perl at least, sometimes the comment character '#' is a part of the syntax. EE does ignore its commenting-out nature when it is part of a string. However, at least in the following example it does color the rest of the line as comment:


my @list = ('string 1', 2, 4, 'string 2');
for my $i (0 .. $#list) {
...
}

everything beyond the '#' is colored 'comment'.

Did I missed a feature again...?

Hello,

This is because '#' is defined as a Line Comment on the Highlight (2) tab of Perl configuration properties. You can remove the '#' from the Line Comment text box. This is the only way to solve the issue.

Thanks!

Perl is too messy, use Python.
This will solve a problem.
