From my understanding does plsense.el rely heavily on cperl.el, at least for parsing the language.

It's not clear for me how LSP expects this to be done, if it's really a "Server" then you'd need an external parsing entity, like PPI.

It seems already here: Perl::LanguageServer.

Note it uses Compiler::Lexer, not PPI, so it is definitely quite an early version to test the waters.

Thanks, Compiler::Lexer sounds interesting, though there is practically no documentation what it does and how.

update

a quick look into the code reveals that it's similar to PPI in trying to parse Perl code. :(

IMHO running perl -c and analyzing the resulting op-tree would be safer...

Thanks.

Looks like it could be a good starting point.
