VSCode Perl::LanguageServer causes a process that consumes CPU

[adefaria]

When running Perl::LanguageServer inside of VSCode there is a master perl that consumes about 100% of a CPU. Initially, this process fires off a number of pls processes, apparently parsing all of the Perl modules it can find and communicating that data to the master perl process bloating it up to 1.5G in my case. OK, I understand that. There's a lot of Perl code here. However, after it settles down and the pls processes go away the master perl process continues to chew on about 100% of one CPU, even if VSCode is essentially idle.

Closing VSCode causes the master perl process to go away.

An strace of the master perl reveals:

select(16, [3 5 8], [], NULL, {tv_sec=3600, tv_usec=0}) = 1 (in [5], left {tv_sec=3599, tv_usec=999999})
select(16, [3 5 8], [], NULL, {tv_sec=3600, tv_usec=0}) = 1 (in [5], left {tv_sec=3599, tv_usec=999999})
select(16, [3 5 8], [], NULL, {tv_sec=3600, tv_usec=0}) = 1 (in [5], left {tv_sec=3599, tv_usec=999999})
select(16, [3 5 8], [], NULL, {tv_sec=3600, tv_usec=0}) = 1 (in [5], left {tv_sec=3599, tv_usec=999999})
select(16, [3 5 8], [], NULL, {tv_sec=3600, tv_usec=0}) = 1 (in [5], left {tv_sec=3599, tv_usec=999999})

over and over again.

I suppose you are on a wrong repo. This repository is not for Perl.

Can it be moved? Where's the correct repo?

Ah, found it. Sorry. Didn't see this wasn't for Perl.
