Hi

I'm playing around with different color themes for emacs like "zenburn" or "tango" and they generally look great. (far better than the standard emacs so called "fruit-salad" theme ;-)

Unfortunately cperl-mode is defining a special color code for arrays and hashes. ( cperl-hash-face , cperl-array-face , ...)

Any suggestion for a generic solution to solve this without needing to patch every single theme?

Maybe ... a a lisp code which reads the font-lock-variable-name-face and modifies it to a slightly other version , like bold if not already bold?

This involves a more general question:

How to represent sigil variables in a world where most languages can't distinguish between them.
