I encounter the problem too..
PSPad 4.5.2 (2241) Win XP
Here is the example scripts:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$string1 = 'And he shall be called, "the Hero of the future"' ;
if ($string1 =~ m/\".+\"/) {
print "$&\n" ;
} else {
print "no match found\n" ;
}
#comment
The regular expression is on the line
if ($string1 =~ m/\".+\"/) {
it start with m and then delimiter, which is / (slash) at the example.
Since Perl is very flexible, we can also type
if ($string1 = ~ m!\".+\"!) {
using ! as delimiter.
Now, the line
#comment
should be highlighted as comment (italic in my setup), but it isn't.
Additional note, we also can type
if ($string1 =~ /\".+\"/) {
without the m, but we must use / as the delimiter. I don't know if this is a
good practice, but I usually use that.. :)
>From the example scripts above, if you remove all of the " (double quote) in

regular expression, the comment will be italic as it is supposed to be.
Perhaps this can help you understand a bit about the bugs.
Thanks.
