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.
