# Perl This plugin adds [perl](https://www.perl.org/) useful aliases/functions. To use it, add `perl` to the plugins array in your zshrc file: ```zsh plugins=(... perl) ``` ## Aliases | Aliases | Command | Description | | :------------ | :----------------- | :------------------------------------- | | pbi | `perlbrew install` | Install specific perl version | | pbl | `perlbrew list` | List all perl version installed | | pbo | `perlbrew off` | Go back to the system perl | | pbs | `perlbrew switch` | Turn it back on | | pbu | `perlbrew use` | Use specific version of perl | | pd | `perldoc` | Show the perl documentation | | ple | `perl -wlne` | Use perl like awk/sed | | latest-perl | `curl ...` | Show the latest stable release of Perl | ## Functions * `newpl`: creates a basic Perl script file and opens it with $EDITOR. * `pgs`: Perl Global Substitution: `pgs <find_pattern> <replace_pattern> <filename>` Looks for `<find_pattern>` and replaces it with `<replace_pattern>` in `<filename>`. * `prep`: Perl grep, because 'grep -P' is terrible: `prep <pattern> [<filename>]` Lets you work with pipes or files (if no `<filename>` provided, use stdin). ## Requirements In order to make this work, you will need to have perl installed.
