GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 693597
Perl double-slash operator misinterpreted
Last modified: 2013-03-29 18:07:09 UTC
When writing perl and using the // operator (described at http://perldoc.perl.org/perlop.html#Logical-Defined-Or), the remainder of the document is highlighted as though it were a string. The following snippet, highlighted as Perl, is sufficient to reproduce: my $var = "foo" // $VAR; my $other_var = "bar";
