 ## Run examples
 
 `npm run example`

+# Installation with nvim-treesitter
+
+To use this parser in nvim with nvim-treesitter, add this somewhere in your lua config files
+
+```lua
+local parser_config = require "nvim-treesitter.parsers".get_parser_configs()
+parser_config.perl = {
+  install_info = {
+    url = 'https://github.com/leonerd/tree-sitter-perl',
+    files = {"src/parser.c", "src/scanner.cc"},
+    generate_requires_npm = true
+  },
+  filetype = "perl"
+}
+```
+
+This will override the version that's bundled with nvim-treesitter. We hope that
+eventually this version will be bundled instead of the current one. Now you can
+`:TSInstall perl` and proceed as usual.
