Re: IntelliJ IDEA for Perl !! Try it, use it, BE HAPPY !!

It would be nice, if people were more specific, than just saying "it's soooo great".

What are you comparing it with, by which criteria?

I once started a thread listing different things people expect:

What are the criterias of a "good" Perl IDE?

I never had the time to test IntelliJ and CamelCade and honestly, who does have the time to check on all possible IDEs?

So more detailed feedback would be more than welcome!

Thanks! :)

LOL, you're right! I guess the excitement is being able to use a solid IDE very easily with very little friction to get to work. Features I like so far: Good and smart syntax highlighting Refactor/renaming stuff Running a script inside the IDE console Debugging with point and click breakpoints, watchers, evaluations (basically all you have in Java) Jumping to implementation (i.e. Goto -> declaration/implementation actually works and drills into modules, etc.) Find in path is a great IJ feature and works nicely with Perl code Specific support for: mason, TT2, Mojolicious, and embedded Perl (I haven't tested all of these) I hope this gives you a better idea. There's probably more and I'll update this node from time to time as I find or discover new features.	[reply]

«…who does have the time to check on all possible IDEs?» Yes, sure. Nothing but the truth. On the other hand: There aren’t so many serious candidates to check for serious users 🤪😎. BTW, as an result of this thread I came back to BBEdit. It isn’t really an IDE but close to. The friendly manual has only ~400 pages. Which is about 300 pages less than the friendly Emacs manual. I guess I’ll save some time. Regards, Karl «The Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostrophe»	[reply]
