perl-completion plugin supports basic perl completion and Moose / DBIx::Class completion.

the rules could be easily extended. see ( ftplugin/perl/perlomni.vim )

core rules including:

• variable name completion
• function name completion
• package method name completion
• base class method name completion
• basic Moose completion
• basic DBIx completion

Supports deoplete completion

perlomni completion requires vim 7.2 or newer.

and filetype feature should be enabled.

just run make:

$ make install

and add ~/.vim/bin/ to your $PATH env variable , for example, add these lines to your .bashrc or .zshrc:

export PATH=~/.vim/bin:$PATH

please make sure you've enable filetype plugin your .vimrc:

filetype on
filetype plugin on
filetype indent on

NOTE) If you install pathogen.vim , you can make this working without installing.

If you are you want completion as you type and are using neovim you can install https:://github.com/Shougo/deoplete.vim

In insert mode , press C-x C-o to emit omni completion.

P.S. The completion works in terminal vim is faster than gvim/MacVim.

Perl omni completion plugin is extensible, you can extend completion rules by simple regular expressions.

your omni completion extension should put in ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/perl/what-ever.vim.

AddPerlOmniRule(rule), for example:

cal AddPerlOmniRule({ 'only':1, 'head': '^has\s\+\w\+' , 
    \'context': '\s\+is\s*=>\s*$'  , 
    \'backward': '[''"]\?\w*$' , 
    \'comp': function('s:CompMooseIs') } )

cal AddPerlOmniRule({
    \'only':1, 
    \'context': '&$', 
    \'backward': '\<\U\w\+$', 
    \'comp': function('s:CompBufferFunction') })

Available Rule attributes

only: if one rule is matched, then rest rules won't be check.

contains: if file contains some string (can be regexp)

context: completion context pattern

backward: regexp for moving cursor back to the completion position.

head: pattern that matches paragraph head.

comp: completion function reference.
