Properties named 'q' trigger the q quote highlighting

[darkliquid]

Atom 0.179.0 OSX, language-perl 0.10.0

In the following example, the portion of the code from q; until the next ; is erroneously highlighted as a quoted string - specifically the 2nd print keyword is highlighted as a string instead of like the other prints.

sub q() {}
my $test = {};
bless $test;
print $test->q;
# this is some code that should not be string highlighted
print "end";

Interestingly, the highlighter github uses as well seems to make this same mistake.

@darkliquid That's because this grammar was converted from textmate/perl.tmbundle which GitHub uses for Perl syntax highlighting (see github/linguist for more information). I opened an issue there.
