In gedit's Perl highlight mode, variables of all kinds ($var, %hash,
@array etc.) are highlighted in dark green. The same usually works for
the last index of an array as well ($#array) but only if the array is
one-dimensional. With multidimensional arrays, the proper syntax is more
complicated: $#{$array[0]} should give the last index of the first
element of an array of arrays. Here gedit however interprets the number
sign (#) as the mark of a comment and highlights the rest of the line in
blue. The expected behavior would be to highlight $#{$array[0]} in dark
green like all other variables. See the attached screenshot.
