in thread Some thoughts around the "is Perl code maintainable" discussion
syntax highlighting is fantastic, and yet i've never seen an editor get it right for perl.
i've got a number of source files littered with #'#fix vim highlight to give hints to the editor that, no, s|'|"|g; is not the start of a runaway string.
only perl can parse Perl is the usual mantra. most software can't do it -- no wonder humans have trouble, too. ;-)
