Re: Perl Tools For Refactoring.

It has been almost two years since I tried it. I remember being marginally
impressed, but I went back to using emacs in short order. I'm not sure what

configuration was borked in the version you tried (Tends to happen in
Eclipse, IME, because the plugin architecture is not very smart about
versioning.)
