How to get matchit to work with heredocs in Perl files

I have matchit loaded and I create a PHP file hello.php that contains the following text:

<?php

$html = <<<"HTML"
<table>
  <tr>
    <td>I AM THE TABLE.</td>
  </tr>
</table>
HTML;

print "$html\n";

exit();

If I put my cursor on the HTMLtags in the heredoc if I hit the percent key(%) I can toggle between the opening and closing tags for table, tr, and td. Cool!

So, if I create a Perl file hello.pl that contains the following text:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

print "Hello world!\n";

my $html = <<"HTML";
<table>
  <tr>
    <td>I AM THE TABLE.</td>
  </tr>
</table>
HTML

exit();

If I try to toggle the HTML tags similar to what I did in the PHP file, it does NOT work. How do I get the heredo toggling to work with Perl files?
