IMPORTANT: - in 2018.3, Perl plugin was split into several plugins. One for each framework or extension. Don't forget
to install them if necessary.
fileno information is now available in the debugger, by @ivanych
(requires debugger module 2018.3+)
Markers for automatic injections into here-docs and literals using #@inject annotation are now configurable in the Perl
settings, by @aldem
Scripts, executed in console is now ran with Pty and supports ANSI colorized output.
Alternative sdk configuration re-worked and allows to choose one of the registered interpreters (NB: old configurations may break if
used alternative paths), #1423
Missing library notification now have actions to install a missing package with cpan or cpanminus.
perltidy and perlcritic scripts are now discovered automatically in the selected interpreter and manual
configuration is no longer
possible, #1809 & #1810.
IDE listens process output for a missing package warnings and suggests to install them.
plenv version manager is now supported, by @aptituz
Action to create a library available in Tools: Perl section. Available if perlbrew is selected as a
current
interpreter.
Action to install a cpanm and patchperl using perlbrew.
Action to install a Perl5 for the version manager is available in Tools: Perl section. Available if vm-based perl is
selected as
current interpreter.
Action to install arbitrary packages using cpan or cpanmn.
Action for installing App::cpanminus in Tools: Perl section
Action to refresh current interpreter information. Plugin watches for the filesystem changes and most likely catches external changes
to the interpreter (e.g. installing
package from console), but not always (and for sure can't do this in the remote case). This action forces IDE to refresh current
interpreter data, so all changes should be catched. (NB: this action is more like an emergency thing, so if you often forced to use it,
it's probably worth to start an issue in the tracker.)
Missing package file inspection suggests a quickfix to install a package using cpan/cpanminus, by @yxliang01
WSL support. Windows users may use not only system perl and berrybrew, but WSL
distributions with version managers in them, #1820 (via separate plugin)
Sdk selection panel is not wrapped on resize, #1786
Run With Coverage should work fine with version managers, by @floreal
Typing and removing parens, brackets and braces as quotes for quote-like operators inside normal parens, brackets and braces now works
properly, by @aldem
