syntax highlighting perl with large multiline html strings

Hi all,

I apologize if this has been asked before.  I do a lot of programming in perl as cgi files and such.  Many of the scripts I work on do a lot of html printing.  Frequently there are multi-line html sections such as this:
print <<HTML;
<html>
<body>
...
</body>
</html>
HTML

The problem is that vim will mixup (turn off/on) the syntax highlighting within the string if I start includes quotes such as in javascript or even just class='someclass'.  Everything between the <<HTML and the last HTML should be considered a string.  Vim in both the terminal and gVim will stop treating the whole block as a string.  Is this a known issue?  Is there a way to prevent this from happening or to quickly reset it?

Thanks.
