# 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.
