There had been some decent Perl plugins in the past that I used quite 
extensively for some time, but I can't seem to find them on your list or 
anywhere else? I'd be open to trying to get Perl language support back up and 
running.

Subject: Add support for other programming languages

If you are interested in contributing in maintaining other programming
languages support for NetBeans, please reply to this thread.

There are many programming languages that have been dropped from Apache
NetBeans, for various reasons. A list can be found here
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Community+plugins>.
Some of them need little effort to provide at least some basic
functionality.

The task is not easy, as there are different technologies (JavaCC, ANTLR,
LSP) that these plugins have been written into, and the NetBeans APIs have
been changed during time. A draft wiki page on how to add language support
to NetBeans can be found here
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Adding+New+Language+Support>
.

We could have a separate thread or organise in slack, e.g. to create a
better overview of what needs to be done and how to proceed.

Thank you in advance.

K/r,

John.
