The first Perl 6 plugin of Padre

I was hoping for this for some time and the recent help I got on #perl6 let me first write an experimental piece of code Embedding Perl 6 in Perl 5 which then lead me to the development of Inline::Rakudo.

Now that Hinrik suggested a GSoc project developing psi, a command line tool written in Perl 6 to get the Perl 6 documentation. As I believe many developers especially will prefer a GUI over the command line, I really would like to have that integrated with Padre.

So I quickly wrote a sample plugin for Padre that actually is written in Perl 6.

In a few hours from now Padre::Plugin::PSI will be available on CPAN.

ps. I know it does not do anything interesting, just counting bytes but it does it in Perl 6.


Didn't you forget

You are right. So I checked. Searching for Perl IDE on Google shows perlide.org on the 4th place and Padre, the Perl IDE on 10th place.

Still needs more linkspam from other enthusiastic users.
