Language Server for Perl

Features

  • Syntax checking
  • Symbols in file
  • Symbols in workspace/directory
  • Goto Definition
  • Find References
  • Run on remote syntax check on remote system via ssh
  • Supports multiple workspace folders

Requirements

You need to install the perl module Perl::LanguageServer to make this extention working, e.g. run "cpan Perl::LanguageServer" on your target system.

Please make sure to always run the newest version of Perl::LanguageServer as well.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

  • perl.enable: enable/disable this extension
  • perl.sshAddr: ip address of remote system
  • perl.sshUser: user for ssh login
  • perl.sshCmd: defaults to ssh on unix and plink on windows
  • perl.sshWorkspaceRoot: path of the workspace root on remote system
  • perl.perlCmd: defaults to perl
  • perl.sshArgs: optional arguments for ssh
  • perl.pathMap: mapping of local to remote paths
  • perl.perlInc: array with paths to add to perl library path
  • perl.fileFilter: array for filtering perl file, defaults to [.pm,.pl]
  • perl.ignoreDirs: directories to ignore, defaults to [.vscode, .git, .svn]

Remote check

If you developing on a remote machine, you can instruct the Perl::LanguageServer to run on that remote machine, so the correct modules etc. are available for syntax check. Do do so set sshAddr and sshUser, preferably in your workspace configuration.

Example:

"sshAddr": "10.11.12.13",
"sshUser": "root"

Also set sshWorkspaceRoot, so the local workspace path can be mapped to the remote one.

Example: if your local path is \10.11.12.13\share\path\to\ws and on the remote machine you have /path/to/ws

"sshWorkspaceRoot": "/path/to/ws"

The other possiblity is to provide a pathMap. This allows to have multiple mappings.

Example:

"sshpathMap": [
    ['remote uri', 'local uri'],
    ['remote uri', 'local uri']
]

Known Issues

Does not yet work on windows, due to issues with reading from stdin.
