=head1 NAME PLS - Perl Language Server =head1 DESCRIPTION The Perl Language Server implements a subset of the Language Server Protocol for the Perl language. Features currently implemented are: =over =item * Go to definition (for packages, subroutines, and variables) =item * Listing all symbols in a document =item * Hovering to show documentation =item * Signature help (showing parameters for a function as you type) =item * Formatting =item * Range Formatting =item * Auto-completion =item * Syntax checking =item * Linting (using perlcritic) =item * Sorting imports =back =head1 OPTIONS This application does not take any command line options. The following settings may be configured using your text editor: =over =item perl.inc - a list of paths to include in @INC You can use $ROOT_PATH to stand in for your project's root directory, to allow for configuration to work the same for multiple directories of the same project. This is useful if you use SVN and check out each branch to a different directory. =item perl.pls - path to pls Configure this option if pls is not available in your path. =item perl.cwd - the working directory to use for pls =item perl.perltidyrc - the location of your C<.perltidyrc> file. Defaults to C<~/.perltidyrc> if not configured. =item perl.perlcritic.enabled - whether to enable linting using L. =item perl.perlcritic.perlcriticrc - the location of your C<.perlcriticrc> file. Defaults to C<~/.perlcriticrc> if not configured. =back You may configure a .plsignore file in your project's root directory, with a list of Perl glob patterns which you do not want pls to index. By default, pls will index everything that looks like a Perl file, with the exception of C<.t> files. =head1 CAVEATS pls has not been tested with editors other than Visual Studio Code. =head1 NOTES Install the L extension to Visual Studio Code in order to use this language server. =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 2021 Marc Reisner =head1 LICENSE This library is free software; you may redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
