in reply to Text editor modifications

emacs has cperl-mode, courtesy the unstoppable Ilya Zakharevich (you can get it from his CPAN directory). It can handle syntax colouring, too. M-x font-lock-mode is what does it, I believe. I've never paid too much attention to the intimate nasties of Emacs' colouring and font fiddles.

There's PerlBuilder, but my experience with it was not encouraging. David Grove, known primarily for paranoid anti-Microsoft anti-Activestate rants, has released a commercial Perl IDE called Code Magic. I haven't seen it, so can't say how good it is.

    I've used the CodeMagic beta and liked it very much. David may be inclined to rant, but he sure can code. His product is a joy to use. I intend to upgrade to the full CodeMagicCD.
    If the beta is anything to go by, the $130 which also includes a raft of tools from around the web all integrated under the one IDE will be worth it for me personally. If you have lots of time to download and explore everything else out there, are happy with your current editor, then maybe this package is of questionable value. But I love the editor, and while he might be kinda crazy, I guess he deserves my 130 bucks! :-)
