NAME

Tk::TextHighlight::Perl - a Plugin for Perl syntax highlighting

SYNOPSIS

Tk::TextHighlight::Kate inherits Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate;

use Tk;
require Tk::TextHighlight;

my $m = new MainWindow;

my $e = $m->Scrolled("TextHighlight",
  -syntax => "Kate::Perl",     #SPECIFY "Kate::" AND THE LANGUAGE OF CHOICE.
  -scrollbars => "se",
  -background => "black",
)->pack(-expand => 1, -fill => "both");

#OPTIONALLY ADD KATE'S LANGUAGE LIST TO THE "Syntax.View" RIGHT-BUTTON MENU:

my ($sections, $extensions) = $e->fetchKateInfo;
$e->addKate2ViewMenu($sections);

$m->MainLoop;

For its limitations see also there. This module provides extra methods to provide syntax highlighting for the Perl programming language.
