Notepad++ doesn't highlight matching braces in Perl?

I have been using Ultraedit 16 for Perl editing. I'm thinking about migrating to Notepad++ and gave it a try.

Here's how Ultraedit does highlighting. The cursor is on the last brace, and the matching first brace is highlighted: y

Here's how Notepad++ highlights the same code. Cursor in the same place, but no highlight on the matching first brace.

enter image description here

I've looked through the configuration and searched elsewhere, it seems that the highlighting should be possible, but I'm not finding it.

Found it after more digging - Settings => Style Configurator => Global Styles => Brace Highlight style. I can set a background style there to make the matched brace more visible.

One possible result: enter image description here
