RE: The worst Perl plugin ever

Thanks for your feedback. In my experience, I have never come across any software that does not have a list of flaws. The plugin does not claim to do wonders. It has a small and growing list of supported features. If any of the claimed features do not work, please feel free to point that out in the form of a defect and I would be glad to work on it. I could use your Perl experience to build a better plugin if you would be willing to contribute your thoughts on ways to improve the plugin.

The worst Perl plugin ever

No comments at all.. Because if i start to list its flaws it will take ages! :-(. Please stop producing crap on Netbeans RCP! I'm highly experienced in Perl (keep in mind)!

Removing Support For Older Versions

In an attempt to streamline the development and release process, support for versions 8.0 and 8.1 has been removed. The newly incorporated libraries do not support the older versions and hence we had to move forward with this difficult choice. Version 8.2 has been updated with bug-fixes around syntax highlighting. Thanks for your understanding.

Waiting for debugging (2)...

Now is the end of 2016... any update? When will be possible to test a alpha version? Thanks for your job!

Waiting for debugging...

Regret the delay in responding. Debugger is in development and will be available somewhere in 2016. Appreciate your feedback and patience

Waiting for debugging...

So this looks interesting but the lack of debugger pretty much rules this out for me. A pity as I do love Netbeans.

Any ETA on when we might see it? And will it support remote debug?

Great plugin

Very good plugin, does what it offers. It's missing a feature here and there, but the developer made a fine work so far.

Excellent Plugin For Perl support on Netbeans

Great Plugin. Really liked this plugin even after heavily used Perl Plugins in Notepad++.

Keep up the Good Job!!!

All the feature are working fine with Netbeans 8.0.2

RE: Formatting

Glad that you liked the plug-in. :)
Formatting and Analysis is done through external non-native code leading to performance impacts. This is being worked on to integrate native versions of formatting and analysis. So expect these to work quicker in the upcoming releases.

Formatting

Great plugin, I shift+deleted eclipse after installed this on Netbeans :)
I'm working on a windows 8 machine with activeperl installed. Formatting works very slow. Any idea why?
Thank you.

Novice perl developer review

Gave the plugin 5 stars. I am not a very experience perl developer but it is a requirement of my new job. I enjoy using Netbeans as much as I can and this plugin has made it fairly easy. Not all of the features are available yet but the developer (sudeephazra) seems to be on the right track and is responsive. I look forward to see this plugin progress and maybe contributing in the future.

Where is the plugin?

I see this is only available with a full IDE download. Is it possible to make this an actual plugin?

You said the "Planned features" in your Plugin Introduction, but what are the "Current features"?

Proposed Platform

Hi Flebber,

I am working on adding features to the IDE and moving to 7 in not on top of my list right now (busy with my day job) :(

Proposed Platform

Hi

thanks for starting the work on this, I had never really gone far into netbeans because of the the lack of support. I notice currently supported is 6.9, will you be looking to port this onto the 7.1 series? Are there significant road blocks to moving project like this to 7.1?
