Description Christian Reis (not reading bugmail) 2007-05-08 14:44:15 UTC 
When writing a Perl program that uses the expression $' the editor incorrectly assumes the rest of the program is a string (pink color) as it cannot match the closing quote.

$' is a valid Perl construct like $_ or $& so it should be recognized as such.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
