IDE-Perl6

Perl 6 language support for the Atom IDE powered by App::Perl6LangServer.

This Language integration is built on top of atom-languageclient.

Features:

• Diagnostics (i.e. syntax check errors using perl6 -c )

Plan:

• [ ] Provide a feature list similar to atom-ide-rust
• [ ] Auto-install App::Perl6LangServer
• [ ] Support VSCode in another plugin.

Install

• You can install from the command line with:

# Install IDE-Perl6 Atom plugin 
$ apm install ide-perl6

• Or you can install from the settings view (Ctrl + ,) by searching for ide-perl6.

Note: you need to have a working installed Rakudo Perl 6 Compiler. You can install the latest monthly pre-compiled packages from nxadm/rakudo-pkg or Rakudo Star distribution from here.

Note: You need also install App::Perl6LangServer:

# To install Perl 6 language server executable. 
$ zef install App::Perl6LangServer
 
# If you are using rakudobrew, this is needed to update executable path after 
# installation. 
$ rakudobrew rehash
 

Debugging

If the plugin is not working as expected, you can try enabling logging to debug it:

• Open the atom console via Ctrl + Shift + I.
• Enter atom.config.set('core.debugLSP', true) in the console.
• Reload Atom via Ctrl + Shift + F5.
