Hi. I have odd behavior from my IDE (as indicated in the Title). I have a very long *.pl with say a section of code similar to; 


        .... etc ...

    my $result;
    if ( $response =~
        m/SEARCHING\.\.\.\s+(\w+)\s(\w+)\s(\w+)\s(\w+)\s(\w+)\s(\w+)\s
++>$/ )
    {    
         # This is a padentic match
         # print "yes we found a match with SEARCHING within \n";
         # print "\$1 ;$1  \$2 ;$2  \$3 ;$3  \$4 ;$4  \$5 ;$5  \$6 ;$6
+ \n";

        # printf( "%b \n", hex($3) );
        $result = sprintf( "%s %s %08b%08b%08b%08b",
            $1, $2, hex($3), hex($4), hex($5), hex($6) );

        #  print $result;
X    }
    elsif ( $response =~ m/(\w+)\s(\w+)\s(\w+)\s(\w+)\s(\w+)\s(\w+)\s+
+>$/ )
    {    

        ... etc ...

The line X (which I added,) is marked as a syntax error while 12 other lines at X+300 are similarly marked as syntax errors. However, if I remove the comment "# print $result;" and all the white space between "sprintf" statement and the end of the block ("}" at line X), then all is well.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me ???

What are the preferred IDEs used by others ???
