Syntax highlighting broken for perl

[Michael Muratet]

Greetings

I am using the Mac OS X version of nedit v5.4 with Motif 2.1. When I  
try to edit perl code I get the error message:

Style "Text Escape" named in pattern "dq here doc esc chars" does not  
match any existing style

I've looked through all the menus under Default Settings and I don't  
see any reference to 'Text Escape' to even change. The problem occurs  
in OS X 10.4 as well as 10.5.

I don't see this behavior documented anywhere. Does anybody have any  
suggestions of things to try?

Thanks

Mike
