Re: On Parsing Perl

[nop]

I use the perl mode on emacs, and resort to small tricks to keep everything ok. For example,

s/'"/;

upsets the syntax colorization badly (as emacs thinks following code is in the string), so I use idioms like

s/'"/;  #"'

to "close" my "open" strings....

[merlyn]

I just use backslashes for those. No need to "balance it".
