in reply to Which IDE's show tooltips for Perl builtins?

You probably already know, but for someone who doesn't: in cperl in Emacs, C-c C-h v to run cperl-get-help.

map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

    Well I usually activate M-x cperl-toggle-autohelp instead of remembering another carpal-tunnel-inducer ... ;-)

    Whenever your cursor is longer than 2 secs over a keyword it'll react. But last that I checked this showed the mini-docs in the bottom-line.

    I had to patch cperl-mode to show a yellow tool-tip instead.

    update

    well monkey-patched with an advice to be more precise ...
