The scope selector for Perl is source.perl, not source.pl, assuming that you’re using the built in Perl syntax.

You can determine the top level selector for a file by opening one and using Tools > Developer > Show Scope Name from the menu (or its associated key binding, which is visible on that menu item).

thanks for your repaly
I change source.pl to source.perl it work well automatically
My sublime version is 3,I cannot find Developer option in Tools Menu, and where i can find the relationship between file extension and sublime selector?
when i build object-c file,i find the problem first.

thanks

The default key binding for Windows and Linux is Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P while for MacOS it is Ctrl+Shift+P, so those might work for you.

Do you have the most recent version of Sublime Text 3 (build 3126)?
