What are you using:
perl-mode.el (which comes with emacs) or cperl-mode.el (which you can
get from
ftp://ftp.math.ohio-state.edu/pub/users/ilya)

If you're using perl-mode.el, give cperl-mode a try. IHMO it's _much_
better.
I just pasted the line from above in my emacs and got "correct
looking" highlighting, indendation and parathesis-matching with
cperl-mode.
