> The integration with "speedbar"

I think you mean Cperl's support for Imenu which helps me - among other stuff - to jump-to-definition of subs under the cursor.

I'm not using Speedbar but ECB on top and both can use Imenu as backend to list all subs in an extra panel instead of a drop-down menu-list.

edit

at the time I was experimenting with Speedbar it insisted in opening an extra "docked" window instead of splitting the current one, which was really kind of annoying. I know it's better nowadays.

Yes, the support is for `imenu`. I highlighted `speedbar` because it has been mentioned in this thread. The vanilla `M-x speedbar` still opens an extra window ("frame" in Emacs lingo), but MELPA offers sr-speedbar which uses the same frame. I haven't tried it myself, though.	[reply]

> Yes, the support is for imenu. I just looked into the docs for imenu and realized that emacs has a `which-function-mode` to dynamically update the name of the current function in the mode bar when navigating... Needed this, reading helped. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply] [d/l]
