Crate perl_symbol_table 

Symbol table and scope management for Perl LSP.

This crate provides the core data structures for tracking Perl symbols, references, and scopes for IDE features like go-to-definition, find-all-references, and semantic highlighting.

Core Types

• Symbol - A symbol definition with metadata
• SymbolReference - A reference to a symbol
• SymbolTable - Central registry of symbols and references
• Scope - A lexical scope boundary
• ScopeKind - Classification of scope types

Usage

use perl_symbol_table::{Symbol, SymbolTable, Scope, ScopeKind, ScopeId};
use perl_symbol_types::SymbolKind;
use perl_position_tracking::SourceLocation;

// Create a symbol table
let mut table = SymbolTable::new();

// Add a symbol
let symbol = Symbol {
    name: "foo".to_string(),
    qualified_name: "main::foo".to_string(),
    kind: SymbolKind::Subroutine,
    location: SourceLocation { start: 0, end: 10 },
    scope_id: 0,
    declaration: None,
    documentation: Some("A function".to_string()),
    attributes: vec![],
};

table.add_symbol(symbol);
