I second your recommendation to use a syntax-highlighting editor, but I want to expand. Not all editors (even fte, sadly, which I loved) handle complex quoting in Perl in a sane manner. For example, an editor might have trouble with some of: 

qq[];
s///;
y///;  ##and so on, any with three separators
s[][]; ##etc
m,/,;  ##non-standard matching, esp with a slash
m/\//; #matching with an escaped version of a delimeter

The only editor I've ever found that handles all of those correctly is SciTE.

    FYI - FTE handles all those just fine. It's not perfect, but those particular types are working currently. I've fixed many of the perl syntax highlighting problems in FTE, but I don't think any of those ever had a problem that I had to fix.

    My Windows editor of choice handles all of that just fine. I wish they made a Linux version.
