Initial Comment:
Patterns such as s!...!...! (in place of the traditional s/.../.../) are not highlighted properly.

It's a feature, not a bug ;)

Seriously, Perls syntax is so extensive that not everything has been
implemented in order to keep highlighting moderately responsive. In this
particular case, the syntax highlighting engine would ideally support for
some form of backreferences to detect the character that started the
expression. Since we don't have these, the patterns would have to be
duplicated for each allowed delimiter. If you feel up to it, you could try
to duplicate the regex patterns for your favorite alternative delimiter.
