Hi

I've uploaded a possible next release candidate that fixes this problem 
(hopefully) here:

http://rap.dsi.unifi.it/~bettini/source-highlight-1.8.tar.gz

please test it to see if the problem disappears (I tested and it works, 
but, as I said, I'm not a perl programmer).

This release also has some more features:

Version 1.8

   * new output format: ESC ascii code (e.g. for less, with the
     help of Konstantine Serebriany <address@hidden>).
   * tab character are correctly handled by --tab option is given
     (thanks to Don Stauffer <address@hidden>).
   * presence of getopt_long is handled in a cleaner way.
   * some changes in how changelog files are highlighted
   * =head =cut sections in perl sources are correctly handled
     (reported by Grant McLean <address@hidden>)

so others may want to test it too.

cheers
        Lorenzo
