I downloaded PSPad 5.0.0 (251) and in the Settings menu, Program Settings, Colors, I can change the current line background color to Yellow for Perl files. So this is a fresh install of PSPad.
I went to Settings, Highlighter, and the Perl highlighter is checked. I'm not sure if that matters. -- <https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,69790,69797> PSPad freeware editor https://www.pspad.com
