I tried to use PLS with VSCode and Strawberry5.32 portable on Win ... but failed.

The plugin was easily installed but complained that pls couldn't be started.

I reckoned that a cpanm installation of pls was needed, which is kind of huge because of Perl::Critic and PPI.

But it failed because of IO::Async

I fell back on --force installations for IO::Async and PLS, but on startup I VS-Code is still complaining

[Error - 17:41:45] Starting client failed
Launching server using command pls failed.
[download]

I think I know now why the Perl-Navigator is using a JS Server for the communication.

On a side note: I'm pretty sure The CamelCade plugin for intelliJ showed Perl::Critic output too, but without a need of installation. I suppose this was all bundled inside the plugin.

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
