Re^2: Useful syntax highlighting to illustrate variable interpolation?

syntax hilighters aren't perl interpreters , they don't actually check syntax

Well, they should do.

Who decides what is proper?

I knew someone was going to ask that. We decide!

Proper is something that helps efficient coding. That tells me whether or not what I'm writing is what I intended to write.

Proper syntax highlighting will tell me what the code is going to do before I run it.

So, does anyone know how to 'fix' this problem?

to fix this problem get the latest vim (or at least vim 7.2) and the latest syntax file for perl (at least last changed 2009-09-2).	[reply]
