           Summary: perl syntax highlighting, $q,$m,$s treated as q,m,s
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: 3.3.3
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-bugs kdevelop org
        ReportedBy: thewierdnut yahoo com


Version:           3.3.3 (using KDE KDE 3.5.3)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 3.4.4 (Gentoo 3.4.4-r1, ssp-3.4.4-1.0, pie-8.7.8) 
OS:                Linux

if you are calling a method in a package (?terminology?), and one of your arguments is a variable named $q,$m, or $s, then it ends up being incorrectly highlighted.

If you open up a blank file in kdevelop, an turn on the perl syntax highlighting, none of these lines are 
correctly highlighted
a::a($q, $a);  #this text should be gray (comment colored)
a::a($s, $a);  #this text should be gray (comment colored)
a::a($m, $a);  #this text should be gray (comment colored)

Here are a few things i have noticed:
for the example:
a::a($q, $a);  #this text should be grey (comment colored)

it seems to be treating the $q as a q. it seems to be seeing something like this: q,<text>,. It mishighlights everthing until the next comma, as demonstrated by this example:
a::a($q, $a);  #not gray, #gray


for the examples:
a::a($s, $a);  #this text should be gray (comment colored)
a::a($m, $a);  #this text should be gray (comment colored)
if you add a third space after the semicolon, it will be correctly highlighted:
a::a($m, $a);   #This text is gray
