[emacs] auto-completion of Perl code

LanX has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm playing around with auto-complete.el combined pos-tip.el but it seems Perl isn't properly supported yet.

see this picture PosTipScreenshotAutoComplete for motivation.

I tried making perl-completion.el work but it had too many prerequisites und didn't seem well supported.

Any other way?

I can see that ECB is able to parse Perl using imenu and/or etags, would be nice to feed this into auto-complete. :)

(update: I know that only perl can parse perl for 100%, but 90% is better than nothing)

Thanks I saw them all, but I confused the two Japanese authors to be the same person (shame on me) and didn't look much into github. This project is utterly scary and fascinating if it does what I think it does. ... a live introspection of a running Perl program.
