Double quote characters within a regex

[duff]

When the " character appears in a Regex, the highlighting is attempting to treat it as a binary rather than just another character in the Regex. So, for example, if I have a Regex such as:

    regex = ~r/<a href="([^"]*)"/
    # Some comment
    i = index

the highlighting looks like this:

So it looks like it's thinking that part of the Regex is a string. And then, since there are an odd number of " characters in the Regex, the remainder of the file's highlighting is off since it's waiting to have the " closed.

I haven't yet been able to determine how to actually fix it. :) I see there are a number of lines handling sigils and a number of lines handling regexes. I thought I'd report things here in case anyone might have ideas as I research more.
