SPUG: perltidy HTML colorer

[Don Schneider]

For me, even with these, the emacs colorizer still gets confused by commas 
in a qq statement which uses balanced parentheses, braces, brackets, etc:

   print qq[      get rid of this, it confuses the colorizer.\n];

Using non-balanced delimiters is better, although everything after the 
comma isn't colorized as a string:

   print qq|      the next sentence is less true:\n|;
   print qq|      get rid of this, it confuses the colorizer.\n|;


Escaping the comma makes the colorizer happy:

   print qq[      the next sentence is false:\n];
   print qq[      get rid of this\, it confuses the colorizer.\n];


Any suggestions?
