screenshot illustrating problem

When gedit v2.30.3 is editing a Perl script, use of Perl's -s function causes text following it to be treated as a string for the purposes of text-colouring.

my $a = -s "~/.bashrc"; # The closing quote, semicolon, and this comment are all syntax-highlighted as being regular expression or string
