Hello,
I would like to know if you're planning to add Perl support for Source
Navigator, and if so, when the feature will be available? I believe this
would be immensely useful as such a large number of projects especially on
Linux are coded with Perl.
Regards,

Hi,
I would like to see Perl support for SN, but currently nobody is
working on adding it. I will be added if somebody donates a
Perl parser (and adds perl syntax highlighting as well) OR if
somebody contacts Red Hat to add Perl support. If anybody is
willing to donate time/etc to adding perl support we will
provide as much help as we can.
Ian.

Ian,
I'm currently working on a Python parser for SN.
Things are a little complicated because I am on Win32 and not on
*nix, also I want to use MSVC instead of gcc.
But I make progress.
How can I add syntax highlighting for a language?

It needs some improvement, but in essence, you need to write a scanner using
something like Flex. See the .l files in the source tree. Rather than
scanning a file (or stdin), these scanners scan memory allocated by the
editor when a source file is loaded in.

Hi Thomas,
I'm currently working on a Python parser for SN.
That's great!
Things are a little complicated because I am on Win32 and not on
*nix, also I want to use MSVC instead of gcc.
Why not just model it on the existing parser Makefile.am's? Then it will
work for everybody, using automake and autoconf.
