Hi,

I have just started learning Perl and looking for a decent IDE, just wondering what you guys thought?

Note: I will be learning python after it too, so if it can do both then thats a brucey bonus!

Thanks

Or learn VIm. Our development team uses Perl exclusively and VIm is an integral part of the development process. Vim is very customizable: efficient keybindings, compile/lint checks, autocomplete, etc. Plus you can easily edit remotely via ssh+screens.

Notepad++ is a surprisingly good general code editor. It's not really a full IDE, but it has a tabbed interface, line numbers, auto-completion, syntax highlighting for a large number of languages, and it lacks the horrible features of a lot of other code editors.

I use PSpad exclusively. I feel it's the best you'll find for the price (free!). Had bindings for almost all languages.

we use emacs and vi the ones which you can easily install on any linux environment.

Another vote for vim - I use it for all my coding.
