It feels like there's a lot of energy in the Perl community right now with new, interesting, and cool stuff happening left and right.
$m is the number of new modules on CPAN. For me right now, Test::Base looks interesting, PPI is very useful for my Devel::PerlySense project and I hope to use Catalyst for something simple in the near future. And there are lots of others.
$c is the number of conferences being held, squared because of what happens when people meet in real life, talk to each other, hack together, drink beer, and become friends. YAPC::Europe is a couple of months away and I can't wait.

I hadn't seen it, but it seems somewhat similar in direction. Thanks for the pointer.
Devel::PerlySense isn't so much about refactoring (source editing) as about getting around your code base (browsing/navigation) and bringing the documentation for modules/methods/subs to you when coding. So it's more like IntelliSense in that regard.
For example, in Emacs, when the cursor is on the method ofand you press C-p C-d (the Smart Docs command), you get to see the documentation (POD, example, or actual usage) for that method in the message buffer:$self->urlWikiRemote($1)Similarly C-p C-g is Smart Go To, which opens the file at the sub definition(declaration or documentation).PROPERTIES
urlWikiRemote
Url of the remote Wiki to replicate to.
When set, also set oWiki()->urlBase() if possible.
Default: ""
But it sounds like a good idea to coordinate the efforts, because a lot of the infrastructure and source analysis should be similar for refactoring and navigation.

Wow, how come I haven't found this when surfing?
Maybe it should be a bit more visible on Emacs sites where Perl and cperl-mode is mentioned?Re:Also Sepia

Hey, it's the first hit for "emacs perl sepia"...:)I haven't promoted it much at all for a couple of reasons: First, I don't like self-promotion, so I don't like to go splashing Sepia all over web pages, mailing lists, etc. Second, there are known bugs in the current released version, and I haven't gotten around to fixing them all in my local copy. I find it useful myself, but you really need to know a bit of Emacs and Perl to get yourself out of trouble sometimes. It's great if you're willing to debug and/or help develop it, but not quite ready for "end-users".

Ah, the difference between "a program" and "sofware":) Re:Also Sepia

New version on CPAN, which addresses some of the more obvious issues with the last. Give it a spin if you want.
