Hussam al-Homsi ef6ccc47c8 syntax: perl, ruby: remove arbitrary highlighting of here documents
The rules assume that 'STOP' (for Perl) or EOT (for Ruby) is the
terminating string while it could be anything.  Also, the rules
don't take quotes nor backticks nor a tilde into account.

In short: these coloring rules are far too limited.
