Hi Benno,


When nano does not apply the correct syntax to a file, one could do either:
2) add or modify the first line so that nano recognizes it,

I am quite interested by this: most often, my Perl scripts do not have a name that ends in .pl so the following lines in my ~/.nanorc do not apply:
        syntax perl "\.(html|mas|pl)$"
        comment "#"
        color brightblack "#.*"

Could you give an example of how I could tell Nano that files starting with #!/usr/bin/perl are to use some syntax-hilighting scheme? A pointer to the relevant part of the Doc would be just as good :-)


Kind regards,
Sébastien.
