You can modify perl.sl to declare "`" as a string delimiter.  In the
part of the file that contains define_syntax statements, add:

   define_syntax('`', '"', $1);   % string

Also, if you want multiline strings to be highlighted, change:

   set_syntax_flags ($1, 0x10|0x80);

to

   set_syntax_flags ($1, 0x10);

However, you may find that these changes cause undesirable
side-effects since perl also uses these delimiters for non-string
purposes.  For example, $' and $` are perl variables.  See perl.sl for
work-arounds.

Good luck,
