in thread Creating Perl5 plugin for Intellij IDEA (Camelcade)

Well i could elaborate in details, but need some inspiration.

For short, in Komodo 8 autocompletion for defined variables doesn't work, jump to definistion by click works from time to time.

    The thread I linked was meant as such. :)

    That's surprising but possible. Unfortunately I can't test ATM, my Komodo installation is supposed to be ready in a week.¹

    Anyway I hope you are aware about the limitations to parse Perl statically.

    If "autocompletion for defined variables" means completing a global variable from a used module, that ain't easy to tell (i.e. which module is used somewhere). Even more for "jump to definistion by click".

    At least I can tell from the corresponding features in Emacs.

    So please don't expect just adding highlighting will make Perl as easy to analyze as static languages are.
