PlSense does not currently analyze use lib
statements so all libraries must
be locatable in either @INC
or $PERL5LIB
. If you have a project specific
library use PlSense's ProjectInfoFile.
company-plsense-executable-version
to verify Emacs can find the executable.company-plsense-server-status
will show the current status of
the servers. In order to work, all three servers (Main, Work, and Resolve)
need to be running. If not, start the server with
company-plsense-start-server
.company-plsense-buffer-ready
. If the buffer
failed to compile cleanly it will return "Not Found", in which case you will
need to run perl -c
on the file to see what the problem is. If the reply is
"Yes" that means the file loaded properly.company-plsense
is still not working, open an issue in the issue tracker.PlSense only supports Perl5.
company-plsense
can only provide completion candidates for buffers tied to files.
PlSense
cannot analyze files that do not compile cleanly. To verify if a file is
free of errors, run perl -c /path/to/file
or use a linter such as flycheck.
