Installed IntelliJ Community Version and the Perl-Plugin which points to the CamelCade git-repo.
Was a bit of a hassle to tell the editor/project to use the (preactivated) Portable Strawberry aka "System Perl", otherwise the modules were not indexed. IOW no defaulting to existing Perl.
Typing Ctrl-Q "Quick Documentation" while over (not right after) a Perl symbol (here split
) showed the whole perldoc in a pop-up with scroll-bars.
The IDE knows a feature "Quick definition" (Ctrl-Shift-I) which had no effect on split , similarly Ctrl-P and Alt-Q.
Auto-completions listed arguments for just a small number of built-ins like say([$filehandle, @list]) but those args weren't included even that a help message suggested that pressing tab would help permutate. In this case - say - pressing Ctrl-P listed them again in a pop-up.
There was an error message that Xsubs declaration file was missing, but regenerating it didn't help with the things described.
Typing Ctrl-Shift-Space like in Notepad++ produced only a "No Suggestions" message.
DISCLAIMER: First time user of this IDE, might have certainly missed obvious options.
edit
Code-Snippets are available, they are called "Live Templates" (Ctrl-J)
Mostly for POD and Moose and those Perl standard statements known from Textmate and available in all IDEs.
It has also some snippets for "special" syntax like do { }', like this two 'do are listed in the auto-completion list, chosing the template inserts do { ^ } with the cursor ^ inside the brackets.
There is also a similar snippet sa for anonymous sub expanded to sub { ^ } but it's not listed in auto-completion when typing sub , even after a = ...!
