Hi in the last couple of days Ive gotten to like perl. But there doesnt seem to be any way to get Geany to provide code completion or syntax help so being new, Im forever switching to browser/perlmonks etc for more wizdom. Not a bad thing, but slows one down a tad. If any of you use Geary and know something I dont about getting it to work with syntax help in Perl please enlighten. Otherwise, Geany still works well enough for me to continue its use. As an aside, is there any way to get this forum to notify my email address when received replys? I can seem to find the switch notifications. Thanks vm. Alistair.
