This plugin adds perl useful aliases/functions.

Aliases

Aliases Command Description

pbu perlbrew use Use specific version of perl

Functions

  • newpl: creates a basic Perl script file and opens it with $EDITOR.

  • pgs: Perl Global Substitution: pgs <find_pattern> <replace_pattern> <filename> Looks for <find_pattern> and replaces it with <replace_pattern> in <filename>.

  • prep: Perl grep, because 'grep -P' is terrible: prep <pattern> [<filename>] Lets you work with pipes or files (if no <filename> provided, use stdin).

Requirements

In order to make this work, you will need to have perl installed. More info on the usage and install: https://www.perl.org/get.html
