Hi Richard,

        I don't believe there is one currently.  I took a brief hack at it but 
quickly found that the language is too frustratingly lax, and the existing 
syntax structure too limited to be able to come up with a syntax set for a 
reasonable subset of perl.  If you do come up with one though, I would be very 
interested in distributing it with the official nanorc.sample though.
