Perl Code Folding reads comment lines

I've found that the folding seems to break if you have a } or a { in a comment line that's not "closed or open" in itself... i feel like thats a bug since the line is commented out

sample:
sub sample_fold{
#this is a commented {
if($something){print "else"}
}
folds to look like:
sub sample_fold{...
and the rest of the file is now blank (or folded really)

Below are links to a replacement
xfolder.dll that fixes these folding issuse.
To install this patch, backup the current
xfolder.dll file, download the correct patch based on your current version of Zeus and replace the
xfolder.dll file the one contained in the zip:

this fix worked for me except with parens... the statement below messes up the folding:
if($#rs >14)
let me know if/when you can get a ptch for this...
thanks!

I assume the
$ in the
$# nullifies the comment character. Is that the case

yeah... i hadn't seen that before i started this job a week ago... it's basically the equivolent of calling scalar() on an array...
the next character can be almost anyting... $ [a-zA-Z0-9] so i'd prolly just have it look for $# if that feasible.
thanks

Using the latest Zeus release this Perl code folds correctly for me:
The
#rs does not color correctly, since the
# is incorrectly detected as a line comment, but for me folding is working just fine
The comment painting bug is also on the Zeus todo list
But this fix does require a change to the generic Zeus syntax highlighting engine, meaning the change will effect all languages, not just Perl. This makes the bug a little more difficult to fix as it requires a good deal of thought, planning and testing to make sure the fix does not introduce any unwanted side effects
