If I understand that feature correctly, then this is similar to this action:
  "Move to Matching Bracket"

Default shortcut is "Ctrl+6".

Conduct the Settings -> Configure Shortcuts dialog for more details.

As others indicated; KDevelop may be overkill for editing a couple of Perl 
files. It has no enhanced language support (say, code comprehension or code 
completion aid) for Perl. The only benefits you're getting compared to just 
using Kate is advanced project management and VCS integration.

The text editor part is exactly the same in Kate (it uses the same backend). 
So you'll also get above shortcut.

Regards,
Kevin
