Perl Language Service - README

Emeraldwalk.PerlLanguageService is a Perl language service extension for Visual Studio.

Implemented Features

• Perl syntax highlighting
• Brace matching
• Outlining

Adding File Extensions

As far as I can tell file extensions have to be added via code attributes. If you need additional extensions, you can add additional ProvideLanguageExtension attributes to Emeraldwalk_LanguageServicesPackage.

For example, to add .myext extension to list of extensions handled by the service:

[ProvideLanguageExtension(typeof(PerlLanguageService), ".pl")]
[ProvideLanguageExtension(typeof(PerlLanguageService), ".pm")]
[ProvideLanguageExtension(typeof(PerlLanguageService), ".myext")]
public sealed class Emeraldwalk_LanguageServicesPackage : Package
{
...
}

You should also add any extensions to PerlLanguageService.GetFormatFilterList():

public override string GetFormatFilterList()
{
    return "Perl Files (*.pl)|*.pl|Perl Modules (*.pm)|*.pm|My Extension (*.myext)|*.myext|";
}
