Padre – More than the Perl IDE

Sewi — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 10:09:31 +0000

Padre is the Perl IDE – written in and for Perl, this is what most of you know.

Padre has basic support for other languages, mostly syntax highlighting, but we’re going to change this.

A first step, the Padre::Plugin::PHP version 0.02, has been released. This plugin for Padre should make Padre more useful for PHP developers. It includes:

Syntax highlighting
Autocomplete features (gives suggestions while typing, improves development speed greatly)
Configurable PHP interpreter and arguments
Toggle selection as comment (comment/uncomment selection)
Auto-cleanup of source code files on save (remove tailing whitespaces, add a final newline if it’s missing)

Many other useful features are provided by Padre itself, but listing them here would be too much for a blog post.

A installation howto for Padre + PHP + Padre::Plugin::PHP will follow soon.
