BBEdit Perl 6 Codeless Language Module

BBEdit's Codeless Language Modules are a simple way to colorize simple source code. Perl 6, with various smart balancing features, is a bit beyond simple, but this works for the stuff I do.

Put the Perl6.plist file in your Application Support directory, which can be under ~/Library or in your Dropbox folder if you've configured BBEDit for that.

• /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Language Modules
• .../Dropbox/Application Support/BBEdit/Language Modules

There's plenty more that I can do.

Some development tips

• You have to quit BBEdit to reload the module
• If something doesn't work, you should get a message in Console, but it's not a helpful message
• If something doesn't work, your file might lose its association. You might need to reselect the file's language.
