I first thought that just replacing the line 19 of _perl
'( -E)*-e+[run one line of program]:one line of program' \
by
'(1 -E)*-e+[run one line of program]:one line of program' \
would be enough, but it didn't work. For example
perl -e 's/foo/bar/' <TAB>
will offer all the command names (external commands etc.), instead of
the file names in the current directory.
This is because the '::' in line 44
'*::args: _normal'
will clear the array $words, and the completion system thinks that
it is completing at the beginning of the command line and will try
to complete a command name.
But this '::' can't be simply replaced by ':' (infinite recursion
will happen).
A possible fix would be to modify the completion of the 1st argument
if -e '...' is already on the command line (see the patch bellow).
But detecting -e '...' (or -E '...') is rather complicated, because
perl allows command lines like
perl -pes/foo/bar/ arg ...
perl -CE script_file arg ...
I'm not sure the following patch is 100% OK (I'm not familiar with
most of the perl command line options).
Another possibility would be to modify line 19 (and 20) as above,
and modify line 44 to
'*:args: _files'
I guess this may reduce the possibility of user customization of
the completion, but I have no idea how serious it is.
