Next version of Perl5 plugin for IntelliJ IDEA has been released:

Features & Improvements:

• Added icons for retina displays
• Implemented imports processing for subs with explicit code sigil.
• Implemented basic CodeStyle settings and basic formatter (use with care with version control). Need feedbacks.
• Implemented automatic heredoc closing marker insertion.
• Plugin now knows that use v5.12; # and above includes use strict;.
• Here-doc without injection now highlighted as an appropriate string
• Implemented auto-completion of defined package names in the strings content
• Implemented Run configuration settings
• Implemented use lib support
• Implemented package names resolution in the current directory
• Added stacktrace and files paths hyperlinks in consoles (doesn't include terminal)
• Implemented 'Create Perl5 Test' action and live templates for Test::More
• Implemented Code Folding settings for Perl entities (Default settings: imports, doc comments and method bodies being used too).
• Implemented exceptions reporting mechanism, by @VISTALL.
• Adjusted signature position according to last Perl5 changes (see perldoc).
• Improved sub and vars attributes lexing and parsing.
• Implemented parsing for bare glob operator like my @list = <some/path/*>
• Implemented support for empty here-doc markers
• Implemented proper block dereference parsing
• Significally improved nested code interpolation parsing (Onion parsing comparision)
• Implemented simple getters/setters generation
• Implemented simple constructor generation

Fixes:

• Significally increased re-parsing performance on code typing
• It's not possible anymore to start identifier with digit, like $123abc
• Hexadecimal and binary numbers with underscores now being parsed right.
• Fixed parsing problem for concatenation of string and fractional number.
• Fixed parsing for simple dereferences like $$array_ref[1].
• Added requirement for 14 platform, no more buggy usages in outdated products.
• Fixed and tested interactions with perl process.
• Typeglobs for built-ins are not annotated as unused anymore.
• Fixed package file creation in specialized IDEs.
• Here-doc end marker, pod and formats are not being indented on block tabbing.
• Here-doc end marker is not being indented on live-template insertion.
• Tricky use vars declarations now being handled correctly. use vars @SOMELIST still not working. Also fixed declaration of hashes, code refs and typeglobs.
• Fixed bug with tail LF in convert string to here-doc intention.
• Fixed bug with lookup elements caching for subs.
• Cleaned up extended regex parsing.
• Replacement part of extended regex /x is now parsed properly.
• Fixed bug with broken line splitting in other languages.
• Fixed bug with print OF <<EOM; parsing.
• Suppressed livetemplates inside a string
• Suppressed string to namespace resolution for top-level namespaces.
• Pod block now may starts with =cut.
• Fixed an error creating new file outside of the module.
• Implemented distinction of array index from characters group in regexes.
• Improved parser recovery before compound statements.
• Fixed scoping problem for if/elsif/else compound statement.
• Fixed autocompletion behaviour problem with global variables auto-completion with short main:: form.
• Fixed problems with packages refactoring.
• Fixed recovery after annotations.
• Fixed POSIX character group classes within regex with bracketed delimiters.
• Fixed single-argument grep and map parsing.
• Improved anon hash from code block distinction.
