Hi, I found one issue with syntax highlighting:
variable name in double quotes is interpolated and should have variable haighliting, look how it is in VIM:
[size=85]my $num = 99;
print “number = $num\n”;[/size]
but in Sublime Text the same script highlighting works incorrect:
[size=85]my $num = 99;
print “number = $num\n”;[/size]
so variable $num is not recognized in double quotes. Arrays @num - either not recognized. Do you know how to fix highlighting?
Is that in PHP?
If yes, variables in double quotes are actually captured by the default syntax definition.
But, it’s not rendered in the default theme.
I know nothing about Perl but I just tried it.
It’s the same problem as PHP’s.
Manually adding a color for the scope to your color theme is a solution (but it’s dirty).
For me, under Windows, the default color theme file is in
C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3\Packages\Color Scheme - Default.sublime-packageThe “.sublime-package” file is basically a ZIP tarball so you can decompress it using zip/winrar/7zip or whatever.
Extract “Monokai.tmTheme” (maybe you are not using this one or you are using a non-default color theme) into
C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3\Data\PackagesModify user settings to use a new color theme in Toolbar » Preferences » Settings-User with
"color_scheme": "Packages/Monokai.tmTheme",Add a customized coloring rule into “Monokai.tmTheme.”

thanks for this info, bu I am using Sublime Text 2, and I dont have directories that you showed.
I have this dir: C:\Users\Alx\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 2\Packages
it contains Programming Languages dirs, is it correct dir for me?
btw, may be it is better to fix this file:
C:\Users\Alx\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 2\Packages\Perl\Perl.tmLanguage

Both is okay.
I think ST2 is no longer maintained but you may use a 3rd-party color theme which is still maintained.
So fix .tmLanguage would be better.

assuming this, your statement is rather strange, I downloaded the current stable version, it is 2.0.2

Personally, I think Sublime Text 3’s “Beta” label is somewhat of a misnomer at this point. ST3 has much better support in terms of third-party plugins, has many core improvements and is very stable in my experience.

by the way, what tool did you use to identify the scope? I inserted the same into perl color scheme, but it doesnt work 
may be in ST 2.02 we use another scope

I installed ST3 with Package Control, however i cannot find ScopeHunter in the installable packages(ctrl+shift+p), how may i install it?
I am not sure what happened.
Just downloaded a clean ST3 and installed Package Control.
ScopeHunter was found.

thanks for your input, i solved it.
For those who faced the same issue:
to see the scope: put cursor into needed place and hit ctrl+shit+p and choose: Scope: Show scope under cursor
You don’t need a package to show the scope. Without scope hunter it just appears in the status bar (default binding is ctrl+alt+shift+p)
The package ScopeAlways allows you to always display it (with a toggle)
