Perl Syntax Highlighting from Brackets?

Question

Hi everyone,It looks like in the ancient past, there was a Dreamweaver extension for Perl. With the new (2017) release's alleged emphasis on coding, I thought I might give Dreamweaver a try again since I have Creative Cloud and I'm looking for a new editor (BBEdit has gotten unreliable with remote connections to my server for some reason, which has made it a pain to use after years of reliable service). In any case, I was wondering is Dreamweaver closely related enough to Brackets with this new release's compatibility with Brackets preprocessors that I could somehow import/convert Brackets' Perl syntax highlighting file into something Dreamweaver can use?Thanks for your help!Best,Tim

I haven't worked with Perl in more than a decade so I don't know.

Yes, DW has integrated a scaled down version of Brackets for code editing. Mode-aware syntax highlighting isn't turned on in DW. I don't know if / when it will be. Personally, I don't really need it. I've been coding long enough to know the difference between PHP & JS .

For reasons of my own, I switched code colors to a Brackets theme from Github that does a pretty good job of syntax highlighting with HTML, PHP, CSS, LESS/SASS and JavaScript. I haven't tried it with Perl, sorry. For details on how I changed themes, see link below.
