- Kaizyn 17y agoThis is old and incorrect. Adam Kennedy released the PPI module and has been working steadily on the Padre editor which is capable of refactoring Perl code as well as parsing it. Padre: http://padre.perlide.org/ http://padre.perlide.org/ PPI: http://search.cpan.org/dist/PPI/ http://search.cpan.org/dist/PPI/
- salvadors 17y agoNo it's not. PPI's goal is only to do a "good enough" job. It explicitly states in the documentation that it is not capable of actually parsing Perl code and the discussion he gives in that documentation was what led to this formal proof being developed. Furthermore, in the PerlMonks discussion linked, Adam also commented: "This totally makes my day. Would you mind if I converted this to POD and included it the documentation for PPI?"
