My IDE highlights the word in yellow (warning), and hovering over it produces the following pop-up: Unable to find sub definition, declaration, constant definition or typeglob aliasing. It also throws a yellow dot at the line where the warning is located, so even if that line isn't in view on the screen, I can always see if there are any warnings/errors anywhere within the file at a glance. Everything happens live-time, so I can actually see it immediately after I'm done typing.

Here's an image of what I'm speaking of. If I point at the word, the notice pops up.

Interesting. .. my guess is it's running Perl::Critic in the background.

So what happens if you have an AUTOLOAD defined?

NB: You'd need parens for reeturn() then.

It's the Perl5 Camelcade plugin for intelliJ IDEA. I've been using it religiously (along with the Vim plugin, of course) for numerous years now.

I'm doubtful that it uses Perl::Critic, as it works just fine if that distribution isn't installed. I'm quite sure it uses its own parser, but I am not 100% sure either way. It works the exact same way with Python, JS/jQuery etc.

The only Perl distributions that I install in support of this software is Devel::Camelcadedb, which simply supplies Perl debug support within the IDE.
