in reply to Perl6 syntax highlight editor

On Windows i use Notepad++ nearly always, even though it doesn't have a debugger.

On GNU/Linux almost any text editor can color Perl. My favorites are vi and Kate, but it's a matter of taste.

    vi does not colour code any language. Don't get fooled by Linux distros renaming some non-vi editor to vi (and different distros pick different editors). That's as useful as renaming ruby to perl. You probably mean nvi, Vim, Elvis, vile, or some other vi-clone - AFAIK, all of them are capable of colour coding many languages.

      Thanks - i meant vim, of course. But see above - i'm silly in general.
