Perl code refactoring
Dear LazyPerl,
Does anyone know of a module that can do Perl refactoring, perhaps a PPI based module? I've heard Padre can do Perl code refactoring, but looked through the distro and didn't see any interesting modules.
The goal here is to hand a module to a function, and have it come back refactored according to a Perl::Critic policy.
Hugs,
Phred
I blog about Perl.
I think you'll need to be more detailed as to what kind of policy you're thinking about.
maybe you look for App-EditorTools?
Maybe you're thinking of perltidy?
You could try Padre with the perl::tidy module installed. Not perfect, but it does a fair job of things.
AFAIK, such feature is planned by Perl::Critic developers fro certain policies, but it is not yet implemented.
Looks like it after reviewing the Padre internals more in depth. I think this problem is tougher than I initially thought.
