in thread Making it clearer to say that a sub is defined within current package

Such information can be triggered by cursor position too.

At least in the mother of all IDEs ...

    Probably this is emacs. May be i miss a command like M-x goto-definition in some mode? Best regards, Karl

    Update: Dialogue - a didactic device.

      > Probably this is emacs.

      what else? ;-)

      well these are several questions ... point for point.

      • you said the mouse is needed

        nope

        every x-action is bound to a function and can be bound to a key too, and the function word-at-point gives you the word under the cursor. So you can freely combine any mouse-action with the word-at-point .

        Tip: C-h k doesn't only show you the keybinding of the next keystrokes, but also of the following mouse actions. Hence you can see what is triggered and use it in your own scripts.

      • getting all "local" subs

        cperl-mode supports imenu , which scans the current buffer for every sub declaration.

        Just go to the menu bar and click <menu-bar> <Perl> <Tools> <Imenu> and you'll see a list of all subs in the buffer.

      • jumping to the sub at point

        When called interactively with M-x imenu or a key-binding like C-c i or M-Ret (personal binding) offers all alternatives in the mini-buffer (the bottom line) but defaulting to the word at point.

        For instance in my bindings M-RET RET lets me jump to that definition.

      • automatically showing that a sub is local

        Cperl mode has a setting to automatically show a mini-description for any Perl construct under the cursor In the message area. See <menu-bar> <Perl> <Toggle...> <Auto-help on Perl constructs>

        One could also hack this interface to show information for the sub at point using the data from imenu

      • Choroba mentioned etags/ctags

        These is necessary for bigger projects where the definition is in another file. I was only replying to the "local" requirement. ( Tags are tricky in a language which can only be parse by its own runtime engine ;)

      HTH! :)

      TL DR

      M-x imenu

      See etags, or, in recent Emacsen, xref. I use a script that (naïvely) recognises Moo(se) constructs as well: perl-etags.

      map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]
