Hi all,
when I edit PostgreSQL PL/Perl functions, I have a source code that
has a basic SQL mode in the outer part of a function, and Perl in the
inner part.
Is there a way to instrument Perl to recognize and use both modes and
syntax highlight? Something like what it happens when editing HTML and
PHP inside it.
An example of source code I edit:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION
pwc185.task2_plperl( text )
RETURNS text
AS $CODE$
my ( $input ) = @_;
my @output;
my $counter = 4;
for ( split( //, $input ) ) {
push @output, 'x'
and $counter--
and next if ( /[a-z0-9]/i ) and $counter > 0;
push @output, $_;
}
return join( '', @output );
$CODE$
LANGUAGE plperl;
Everything outside the $CODE$ lines is SQL, everything insde is Perl.
Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Luca

I know there is some multimode ... mode in Emacs.

Another idea that came into my mind is to trigger an alternative
editor buffer within the $CODE$ region, so that I can write Perl code
into a separated buffer that will be placed entirely into the main
buffer once I've done. This is somehow similar to what org-mode does.
Any suggestion on how to activate an embedded Perl editing buffer?
Thanks,
Luca
