Perl5 plugin for IntelliJ IDEA v1.1

A new stable version of Perl5 plugin for IntelliJ IDEA and Co. has been released. This release is almost entirely devoted to improving the performance and quality of the parser. Thus, there are no major functional changes in terms of IDE, however, achievements in these areas are significant.

Added by

• High resolution icons for retina displays
• Basic settings for CodeStyle and basic formatter
• Settings for Code Folding
• Automatic closing of the here-doc marker
• Support for empty here-doc markers
• Inspection of use strict has become smarter and understands that use v5.12 and above includes use strict
• Support use libs
• Auto-complement for packages in rows, which is extremely convenient in use parent / bless / isa constructions
• Run configuration and the ability to run scripts from IDE
• A parser for analyzing the output of scripts, catching error messages and placing hyperlinks in place in the code
• Resolving package names against the current directory
• Type of Perl test and live templates for Test::More
• Semi-automatic reporter for plugin exceptions
• Changed position for signatures to latest versions of Perl5
• Correct attribute parsing for functions and variables
• Correct parsing for glob calls like </some/path/*>
• Generation of getters, setters and designers
• Correct parsing of code blocks before a call forwarding
• Reworked code parsing inside strings and regular expressions. Comparison here (big picture)

In addition to new features, about 30 different old ones were corrected and rewritten, which had a positive effect on speed and quality of work.

The parser was tested on a couple of really huge Perl projects.
