+# 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)
+```
+
+## Perlbrew activation
+
+If the plugin detects that `perlbrew` hasn't been activated, yet there is an installation of it in
+`$PERLBREW_ROOT`, it'll initialize by default. To avoid this behaviour, set `ZSH_PERLBREW_ACTIVATE=false`
+before `source oh-my-zsh.sh` in your zshrc.
+
+## 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. More info on the usage and install:
+https://www.perl.org/get.html
