Hello,

when using jit-lock with current CVS, Emacs displays some parts of Perl
programs in wrong colors - it probably assumes they are string literals.
An example is the attached module, where Emacs mis-colors the portion
after the line

croak "cannot find method $name";

After removing the "\:" in the regular expression few lines above
($name =~ s/.*\://;), the code displays correctly, so I would guess
there is some bug in parsing of the regular expressions.

PS: Please do not judge the quality of my code :)

Regards,
