perl-language-server VS PerlNavigator

There are at least three decent language servers for Perl. I do not run Windows and I am not familiar with it, but I believe the simplest language server to install on Windows is probably perlnavigator. You can also look at PLS. Both of these have VSCode extensions you can download. I don't use VSCode and you don't say what editor you are using, but I know a lot of people use VSCode. Both of these have good support in Neovim if you use that.

Have a look at this https://github.com/FractalBoy/perl-language-server LSP for Perl. Might do your job.

I'm also happy to help out on PLS and I've already made a tiny one character contribution https://github.com/FractalBoy/perl-language-server/commit/236e463cfc2e1381e3a297ac15be175240681d5c . Overall I want the user experience for perl devs (especially new devs) to be as user friendly as possible. I think the PLS is an excellent language server already. If there are any ideas from the Perl Navigator that can be used in it, that would be great as well. Thanks!

It's not yet on CPAN / VSCode extension marketplace, but you can get it here: https://github.com/FractalBoy/perl-language-server

What I'd like to see (unrelated to a Perl 7 or 8) is continued improvement of support for code editors. I've been using https://github.com/bscan/PerlNavigator and it's a real pleasure. I know there are other language servers for Perl as well. It's encouraging to see people working on these tools.

PerlNavigator is by far the best languageserver implementation for VSCode (and other editors)

No problem. I just added support for "method" and "fun" whenever "use Function::Parameters" is present in a file. This include syntax highlighting, outline view, and go-to definition. Commit is here: https://github.com/bscan/PerlNavigator/commit/10938c6d50eb342e1989d51a09b4fba8d023df57

I normally use Emacs. I recently read about this tool that integrates with many editors and was hacked during the latest YAPC. I haven't used it but it looks interesting.
