More Info

Perl5 Debug Adapter

This debug adapter invokes perl -d and handles communication with VS Code.

It has no dependencies and should work out of the box on Linux, Windows and Mac using VS Code. It also works inside Microsofts Remote Extensions Remote-SSH, Remote-WSL and Remote-Containers.

Setup

VS Code

  • Install the Perl5 Debug Adapter extension in VS Code.
  • Perl needs to be installed and the path of the perl executable either needs to be available inside the $PATH environment variable or be provided via the launch.json configuration file.
  • OPTIONAL I recommend using this extension together with BSCANs Perl Navigator https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=bscan.perlnavigator as it provides great language server features out of the box.

Other Editors and IDEs

As this extension implements the Debug Adapter Protocol it should be usable with other editors and IDEs https://microsoft.github.io/debug-adapter-protocol/implementors/tools/ aswell. Feel free to try it out and report any bugs that may occur.
