Title:
  Bug with vim's syntax highlighting in perl

Status in “vim” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “vim” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: vim

  If a regex using an alternate delimiter finishes with a $ sign, the
  syntax highlighting thinks it is a variable.

  ex :

  m[foobar$]
  m#foobar$#

  
  will higlight $] and $# as a variable. The real impact is that it doesn't perceive the regex as terminated, and highlight the rest of the document accordingly, until it reach a suitable delimiter.
