Never mind, my bad. The output below is annoying, but what was really wrong was that the perl file was named "file.perl" So I edited ~/.config/QtProject/qtcreator/generic-highlighter/perl.xml to add support for *.perl files and it works fine now.

Just for fun, I opened a Perl source file and saw this message: "A highlight definition was not found for this file. Would you like to try to find one?" I clicked "Show highlighter options…" and it took me to Options -> Text Editor -> Generic Highlighter -> Download Definitions. However, when I then select anything and then click "Download Selected Definitions," I see the following output on the console and nothing apparently is installed as I still cannot get highlighting in a perl script: QObject: Cannot create children for a parent that is in a different thread. (Parent is Utils::NetworkAccessManager(0x1448e20), parent's thread is QThread(0x6123f0), current thread is QThread(0x2aab50074270) QObject: Cannot create children for a parent that is in a different thread. (Parent is Utils::NetworkAccessManager(0x1448e20), parent's thread is QThread(0x6123f0), current thread is QThread(0x2aab50071ae0) (repeat ad nauseum, twice per item) I really would like qtcreator to work with Perl. Is there an alternate way to install definitions?
