Hello

I have had frequently the same problem with other languages (namely, C) in
the code generators domain (like yours).
The trick I found at the time was to add the pairing brace in (block)
comments.

Something like (I dunno Perl, so replace appropriate comment style):

   print '{\bf This is boldface font'; #...}

   print /*{...*/ ' and this is more text in that font.}',"\n';
