=== AI-assisted Perl development ===

AI interfaces in Perl are not only about using Perl to call models. They are also about using AI to write, review, document, and maintain Perl itself.

`CPAN::Maker::Bootstrapper` is one example of AI-assisted Perl development tooling. Its documentation says it provides AI-assisted development tools through the Anthropic Claude API, including iterative code review, POD documentation review and generation, and AI-generated release notes.<ref>MetaCPAN, “CPAN::Maker::Bootstrapper,” https://metacpan.org/pod/CPAN::Maker::Bootstrapper, accessed July 3, 2026.</ref>

`App::Raider` is another example from the agentic-tooling side. Its documentation describes it as an autonomous CLI agent that can browse directories, edit files, and run bash commands.<ref>MetaCPAN, “App::Raider,” https://metacpan.org/pod/App::Raider, accessed July 3, 2026.</ref>

This area is likely to grow because Perl has a large body of existing code that needs documentation, modernization, testing, dependency cleanup, and migration. AI-assisted code review and refactoring may become one of the most practical forms of Perl AI adoption.
