Perl 6 Mode

Perl 6 mode lets you edit Perl 6 code with GNU Emacs 24.

This mode needs GNU Emacs 24.4.

Features

Basic syntax highlighting
Basic indentation

Planned

Complete syntax highlighting
Better indentation support
Help system
REPL interaction
ETags support
find-file-at-point for module names
Electricity (electric-pair-mode needs some context-sensitive help)

Not planned

Syntax checking (use flycheck-perl6)

Installation

With use-package in your init file:

(use-package perl6-mode
  :ensure t
  :defer t)

Or in your Cask file:

(source melpa)

(depends-on "perl6-mode")

Or manually from MELPA with M-x package-refresh-contents and M-x package-install RET perl6-mode.

Usage

Just visit Perl 6 files.

The major mode will be autoloaded whenever a Perl 6 file is visited. This includes any file with perl6 in the shebang, as well as any file with a .p6, .pm6, or .pl6 extension. It also applies to any .pm, .pl, and .t files whose first line of code looks like Perl 6.

Use M-x customize-group RET perl6 to customize Perl 6 Mode.

Contribute

Pull requests are welcome.

You might want to install cask so you can run the test suite (with make test).
