Editor functions

CamelRider contains an advanced code editor capable of holding multiple source files. To ease programming, the code is coloured by custom specifications.

But this is only one of CamelRider's many features. For example, most Perl programming is for scripts beeing used in websites. For this purpose, CamelRider has its solutions:

Every open file in editor has an accociated HTML form, intended to call the perl script with needed data (e.g. form entries from a user query). Therefore you do not have to save your code, switch to a webbrowser and actualize its contents each time; simply click on "HTML file" (see pic on the left side) button to show up CamelRider's implemented browser that automatically reloads the file ready to call the script. For scripts that do not need a special HTML form but just display data to standard out handle (browser display, for example), the script's output can be shown directly in a browser window.

Integrated Perl

For debugging or scripts that have no purpose for HTML output, you can see Perl's error messages or scripts output as handled to STDOUT in an own area in the IDE, so you not have to open a console each time to view this.

Code Inspector

The Code Inspector examines all local variables and subroutines to list them up. This allows the developer to quickly navigate within the source code.

Code Template

For often reused code, there is a code palette available. CamelRider comes with a wide variety of code samples, but of course you may add your custom ones into the code palette. Adding custom templates to the repository is quite easy by using a dedicated wizard.
