Kein-Hong Man has improved the lexing of Perl, and this is available from CVS and from
http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/scite.zip Source http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/wscite.zip Windows executable I have made an experimental version of SciTE for Windows that uses unicode file names. http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/scite.exe This is not yet in CVS as it does complicate the code and will cause bugs. An earlier similar change was too complex to maintain. This version determines at runtime whether to use unicode file names which is always on in the download but in the future will check the OS version and possibly a config file at start up. A new FilePath class centralises path functions and when in unicode name mode, stores the names in UTF-8, decoding into UTF-16 before calling system functions. The File | Open dialog operates in wide character mode allowing opening any file on the machine. Unicode names appear in the title bar, menus, tab bar and status bar. The Save, Save As and Session dialogs have not been updated. Currently file names used by tool commands are UTF-8 which will cause problems with tools expecting names to be in the file system encoding, so $(FileNameExt) and similar may be converted into the file system encoding. This feature will be of interest to relatively few people, I expect, as most people are already able to use characters from their default locale in file names. There have been a couple of requests for this but I'm not sure it is worth the added complexity although centralizing path management is sensible.
