OT: Changing Platforms between C++ and Perl in NetBeans?

perlynewby has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have been working with Perl for months and ,last week, I wanted to play with C++ to learn it using the same IDE. today, I tried writing a perl program and didn't run at all. no warnings or anything to help me find/post the issue.

How to change the C++ platform to another platform(perl) in NetBeans IDE?

I have been looking AROUND for some solution but no one seems to have asked the same question. how to change platforms.

procedure for opening Perl. I open the existing perl project then open the folder to create a new file. file> open project chose Perl folder stuff(previous perl stuff there). from there I went perl project (right click)> new empty perl file. then wrote my program and try pressing the run radio button...nothing happened. I suspect I need to change the translator view but can't see where to do that.

anyone has an idea of changing between C++ and Perl platforms well, I ended up scrapping the whole IDE to rebuild it later and seems to be ok now

I don't know what got SCREWED UP or how but a rebuilt seemed to do the job

now, I can switch back and forth between C++, Python and Perl

I am afraid I can't help you here. My Perl IDE is VIM and the command line. I poked a bit at NetBeans (back when it was still a Sun Micro product) when I was looking for a Java IDE. I gave it up when I gave up on Java, some ten years ago. You might consider the principal of 'the right tool for the right job', and use different development methodologies for different languages. Just a thought. (Or, consider how you might try to cram Lisp or COBOL into the procrustean bed of your IDE....) ---- I Go Back to Sleep, Now. OGB	[reply]

I've used vim as my editor since forever, but the last couple of weeks, I've been testing IntelliJ with IdeaVim and Camelcade (Perl5) plugins. It works really well. It doesn't allow you to run the code with the IDEs run/debug tools, but you can open up a terminal window within the IDE, and as always, you can simply run from within the vim window itself. It does however allow you to visualize your entire project, see the structure of the open file for quick browsing through subs, variables etc, and allows "find usages" and other handy things. There's been postings: Camelcade - Perl5 plugin for IntelliJ IDEA, v1.0 released here on PM about the Camelcade plugin which is why I gave it a shot. Works with PyCharm as well. I won't stop using vim, but when I'm working on my larger (multi-module) projects, I'm liking the GUI IDE.	[reply]

This sounds like using emacs and combing evil-mode (VIM emulation) and ECB = Emacs Code Browser (treeview pane on the left ...and so on) on top of cperl-mode and perldb integration. There is more than one way² to upgrade to IDE feeling while keeping the VIM experience. =) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!} ²) TIMTOWTDI^TM	[reply]
