What is Perl Classic?
Perl Classic Unit Frames are a complete rewrite of the original mods by Perl. They replace the default Player, Pet, Target, Target of Target, Party, and Party Pet frames and add dedicated frames for many other units (Focus, Focus Target, Party Target, Target of Target of Target). It has been a high priority to maintain the look and feel or the original Perl mods while expanding functionality. The mod has been recoded for performance and is built around the Blizzard UI usage of events.

Q&A

Q: I'm seeing double party buffs for some reason, what gives?
A: 99% of the time this is caused by CT_PartyBuffs. Simply remove the mod and you will return to having one set of party buffs.
Q: I am having massive dead spots for clicking on some of the unit frames, what's wrong?
A: This can be caused by a number of mods, but the most common seems to be CT_MovableParty. Please remove this mod as Perl can be moved without the use of this mod.
Q: The default party frames are showing up with red lightning bolts. What's going on?
A: As of version 1.503 of CT_RaidAssist this should no longer be caused by CTRA. The settings for this are now located in the WoW settings under Interface Options -> Basic -> Raid -> Hide Party Interface.
Q: Do you support ArcaneBar?
A: Yes, it is included in your download of Perl Classic.
Q: Will you be bringing back support for Perl_PlayerBuff?
A: No, there are far better mods for both features and performance.
Q: Where are the raid frames?
A: As of 2.0 I no longer code raid frames for Perl Classic. Luckily, X-Perl's raid frames work great alongside Perl Classic. X-Perl's raid frames (and the unit frames themselves) can be found here: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/xperl.aspx
Q: The scaling is all messed up! What do i do?
A: I recommend setting the scale to that of the UI if you are having issues. Open the options menu via "/perl" or the Black Pearl icon on the minimap and set the scale accordingly under the "All" tab.
Q: I am having an issue not listed in this FAQ, what can I do?
A: First, update *every* mod. I do not support ancient outdated and unmaintained mods. If you have double checked that everything is up to date, post on any of the Perl Classic mod pages and I'll be glad to help you narrow down the issue or give suggestions to help find a solution.
Q: Can you add this feature?
A: I'm sure it's possible, but the primary purpose of this mod is to 'modernize' the original Perl mod so that it doesn't slow your game down.

I've downloaded and installed the most recent TBC version but am still seeing everything as broken.
The combat display is my #1 favorite addon!
Is there something extra I need to do?
In reply to sneakydalian:
You could try deleting your existing Perl Classic addon folders and then extracting a fresh copy in. Sometimes overwriting doesn't work as well as it should.
In reply to Glow_Ball:
That worked. Thanks! (and thanks for updating it for TBC)
I realy hope that there will be an update for TBC. Can't play without it :)
In reply to McClane64:
Same. I love the simplicity and clarity of Perl. I hope it gets updated for BCC.
In reply to McClane64:
9.04 should bring it back to life in TBC. i didn't realize they brought Shadowlands UI changes to TBC Classic or else it would have been ready for launch.
In reply to Glow_Ball:
Thank you very much! I appreciate your great work!
In reply to Glow_Ball:
any chance the range find will be fixed? basically unusable in pvp right nowi r dumb
In reply to RedPhoenix5705:
I don't recall having a range find feature. Are you maybe using one of the Perl versions?
In reply to Glow_Ball:
there are a few different perls out there and i've seen that this issue is in all of them. When i say range find I mean it's set so that frames gray out if they are beyond the range of my healing touch/regrowth or at a set distance. As of right now the frames randomly fade in and out rather than show just when people are in range of my spells.I was incorrect
In reply to RedPhoenix5705:
I could just be forgetting what features I coded into the addon, but Perl Classic doesn't have a range feature like that. Are you maybe using another addon that adds that functionality to Perl Classic?
In reply to Glow_Ball:
It might be z-perl. I thought i had tried both but I see yours doesnt have raid frames. I assumed both had the range check for spells/set distance.
So confirmed that I am stupid and this is the wrong one. continue the good work glow_ball!
Seems to be completely broken in TBC beta
In reply to doctorwizzcurse:
Yeah tbc is breaking a lot of things, but they seem to be easier fixes.

Hi, i use perl classic combat display and it dosent seem to support combo points for monks or soul shards for warlocks. is this a option i am missing?
In reply to Andyuk86:
You aren't missing anything. Those numbers are only available on the player frame.
Is there a way to show the health and mana numbers as 4m Instead of 4000000?
In reply to Ksdden:
Unfortunately it is not an option.
how do i load player buffs, when i click on it says not loaded
