Live code browser for Perl source

Post by lotus298 »

A few days ago, I ran across a program called Perl Oasis. It's a Perl source browser that displays source tree, hotlinks to an editor, etc. The downsides are that it 1) takes too much desktop real estate, 2) is so outdated I can't compile it and 3) doesn't support Textpad. A few days later, this script was born.

This script displays a "live" widget that displays a list of Perl subs and packages in the current Textpad file. Clicking the widget will jump to the corresponding code. That's it. The current file is taken from Textpad's title bar, so whenever you switch files in Textpad, the widget will update. Also, updates should appear when a file is saved.

Pretty much everything should be configurable via the constants at the top of the file. All modules can be found on CPAN.

The window should follow Textpad to foreground, and should hide to systray when Textpad loses focus. This keeps it out of the way when using other apps. You can also force hiding with the systray menu.

Recommended usage (i.e. the way I run) is to keep Textpad maximized. I keep the "Tool output" and "Search results" windows docked on bottom of screen. Tool output is on the left, ~75% of total window. Search results is on right. This script is sized and positioned to perfectly cover the Search results window (I dont use SearchResults)

Recommend using hstart.exe to run script "hidden". I leave it running constantly in the systray.

cmd (note "s): hstart.exe /NOCONSOLE "perl perlparser.pl"

I hope someone out there can use this.
