Hi ichinyo,

Wll, I would need PERL in Geany to begin with. I cannot find it anywhere.

I assume you've got Perl installed on your system? Then in Geany, create a new file with the contents print "Hello, World!";, save it somewhere with the file extension .pl, and hit F5.

To set up a Perl file template, create the file ~/.config/geany/templates/files/perl.pl with whatever contents you like, then in the dropdown next to the new file icon you should get a "perl.pl" entry.

I don't remember having to do any more integration of Perl with Geany than that...

Hope this helps,

I've used Geany under Linux for many years. I never had to enable Perl or install a plug-in for Perl. It just recognized the .pl extension and "did the right thing". Of course, when you create a new file, Geany won't know what language it is until you save it.
