  • How I use Emacs to write Perl

    I use the wonderful shx package for making M-x shell a more usable shell, and I use shell-pop for popping up shell buffers that are automatically cd'd to the current files directory.

    I swear by running bash in shell-mode enhanced by shx so I can properly use SSH.

    Also note that Emacs is a fully GUI application, like I said, it depends on libgdk and libcairo2, and Emacs has support for inline graphics. Take a look at the shx-for-emacs extension to see an example of it (screenshot). Please take a look at Nicolas P. Rougier's GitHub page, he has some of the most beautiful Emacs GUI configurations (for example, this screenshot).

    I have been extremely satisfied with using plain shell mode combined with shx. With shx I can open a file directly from the shell with :edit, and ssh with :ssh. I find that a plain old shell running bash when combined with emacs is just so powerful.
