If you create a perl project, then there is no "add file to project" functionality. (It seems to show up in the file selector and file tree view with a C/C++ project).
Comment 1 Jens Dagerbo 2004-02-19 17:29:54 UTC 
A common property of all the "script projects".

IIRC, the only way of telling KDevelop what files are part of a script project is with a filepattern and this is only evaluated on project start. There should at the very least be a way to reevaluate this pattern runtime.
Comment 2 M.J.Harwood 2004-02-19 17:41:09 UTC 
Just reevaluating the pattern wouldn't necessarily be helpful. (Eg. not all perl scripts end in '.pl', and having a pattern of '*' would mean everything would be added even when you don't want it to be). 

It would completely fail in the case that caused me to find this. I was trying to create a project for files kept on a remote server - I'm the only developer so cvs would be overkill, but there's no way to create the project at a remote url over ssh (I filed a seperate bug for that) and no way to add files if you create a local project).

kdevelop3 development has reached its end. closing as wontfix, kdevelop4 will not have perl support as part of the main source.
